PEOPLE wanting to learn how to Scuba Dive can now take the plunge after the reformation of a Bolton divers' group.

Bolton Area Divers, which has been out of action since last year, has recently started up again.

The club, which offers officially recognised Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) training, also caters for diving enthusiasts already familiar with the sport. The group takes part in regular weekend trips to dive spots across the UK such as Plymouth, Scotland and Anglesey, as well as two annual trips to Egypt's Red Sea.

The organisation operates from a specialist shop on Brownlow Fold Business Park and Sharples Leisure Centre swimming pool in Astley Bridge.

Anyone can get involved by turning up at the group's shop on the Tennyson Street site, on Saturdays 10am until 4pm or Thursdays 5pm until 9pm.

For more information call 01204 394441 or search for the Bolton Area Divers website on the internet.
