Stourport Divers
On Saturday 3rd Sept 05 volunteers from Stourport Divers helped raise funds for local charities by using two club boats to not only enter the Stourport carnival street procession but also provide “Safety Cover” for both the day and night river events, on the following day the club utilised its stock of SCUBA equipment to offer a free “Try-A-Dive” event, a fun filled weekend was had by all. Besides learning to SCUBA dive, becoming a SCUBA diver instructor, powerboat handling, diver coxswain, Oxygen admin, first aid and heartstart are just some of the additional skill courses available through the club and Stourport Divers are very pleased to be able to use these skills to help run such charitable events.
