The Year 10 Marine Science students had the opportunity to try SCUBA diving for the very first time in an ocean tank at AQWA. They were surrounded by schools of fish, a few sting rays and their peers cheering them on!

Year 10 Marine Science students are at AQWA today – exploring the marine ecosystems around the Western Australian coastline and many of them are experiencing SCUBA for the first time!

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” – Isaiah 43:2
The Year 10 Marine Science students spent today at AQWA, exploring the various marine habitats of the Western Australian coast which we have spent the term studying.
The students also had the opportunity to Discover SCUBA Diving for the first time in AQWA’s new purpose-built tank. This was a fantastic opportunity for them to experience breathing underwater and the change in pressure which is often daunting for inexperienced divers.
After an immensely successful day there looks like lots of them have caught the SCUBA-bug and will hopefully be taking part in an Open Water Course in Year 11 or 12!”

“Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.” God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.” – Genesis 1:20-21
