Thanet district Council press releaseYoung people can dive into a new activity this Easter holiday, with two scuba diving sessions planned in Ramsgate.
Organised by the Thanet Coast Project and funded by the Big Lottery, the free sessions by Kent Scuba are aimed at 10 to 18 year olds and give you the chance learn to breathe from the equipment, along with other underwater skills.
It will take place on Thursday 9 April at Ramsgate swimming pool, with two hour long Discover Scuba taster sessions at 2pm and 3pm. It’s part of the Easter Blast activities that will be taking place between 1pm and 5pm at Ramsgate’s Warre Rec. Places are available on a first come, first served basis and must be booked in advance, as Kent Scuba must receive consent and medical forms prior to the event.
Naomi Biggs, Thanet Coast Project Education Officer, said: “This will be a great opportunity to try out a new activity and learn some basic skills. It’s the first time we’ve linked up with Kent Scuba to offer the Discover Scuba sessions for young people and I’m sure it will be an exceptionally popular part of the Easter Blast activities. I suspect that the only problem we’ll have will be trying to get people out of the pool at the end of the session, as I would imagine everyone will be having such a good time.”

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
