School Trip & Educational Visit Information


Based at Farringtons School, Chislehurst, Kent, 1st Stage Ltd offers PADI scuba courses in surroundings and facilities second to none. With our purpose built classroom and deep heated pool we are able to offer courses and Discover Scuba experiences.

Why is this venue great for School Trips and Educational Visits?

Scuba diving is a unique sport placing each person in an alien environment where they rely on each other as well as themselves, working on the golden rule of the Buddy system. Divers must enter and leave the water as a pair, or group, and during the dive trust each other, monitor their situation and their surroundings. Their team work eases the concerns and dangers, allowing people to gel together as one unit trusting their buddy whoever they are and whatever their background. You have to communicate non-verbally by using an international language of hand signals, and when faced with difficulties, STOP, BREATH, THINK, and then act to recover the situation as a team.

Benefits to you.

• Non-verbal communication.
• Confidence in an alien environment.
• Heightened sensory awareness.
• Teamwork.
• Trust.
• Being able to lead in a difficult situation.
• SELF CONTROL: stop, breath, think then act.
