Scuba Superstar
Pupils and the team from Oakwood Learning Centre are celebrating pupil Layla’s most recent achievement.
Layla recently completed her first open water dive, as she is undertaking a PADI scuba diving course.
Here, Layla, has all the details.
“When I first started scuba diving, I thought I was never going to accomplish what I have to this day. I thought I wouldn’t ever be able to be good and I thought it was just a one-time thing. When I started going more often, I was getting better and better by the day. When my diving instructor said I could go in open water I was buzzing and I wouldn’t stop asking when I could. The day I found out I was able to do open water was probably the best thing I had heard in a long time. The day I went open-water diving was, no lie, the best day of my life. The things I saw under the water were amazing and the experience was awesome. I don’t think in my past 13 years I have experienced something as good as that and I hope to get my own licence one day.
Head Teacher Alister Sidgwick commented
‘We at Oakwood Learning Centre are extremely proud this achievement and are enjoying watching her develop her skills and interest for a successful future.’
Well done, Layla! This is so impressive.
