Scuba Scuba Scuba, Dive Dive Dive The Let's Go Club

This is the Let's Go Club, but mini!

Expect making, exploring,

super-sizing, dancing,

fact-finding and laughing.

We've only got a few minutes,

so get ready for more fun from The Let's Go Club.

My name is Mason.

And I'm Matthew, and today we're going on an underwater adventure.

-BOTH:

-Let's go!

Andy is a scuba diver.

He uses special equipment so he can swim underwater.

This wet suit keeps me warm in the water.

Now we're ready to be scuba divers too.

What does it feel like, being underwater?

Similar to space, where you're weightless.

Astronauts like Tim Peake trained in a swimming pool

before they went into space.

Do people always go scuba diving in a pool?

Today we'll be in the pool where it's safe,

but with more practice you can go into the ocean

where there's lots more to see.

What equipment do you need to scuba dive?

This is the scuba system, and the most important bit

is this tank, which holds all of the air.

Coming off the tank we have our mouthpiece,

and this helps us breathe underwater.

What we have here are the fins.

These are going to go on our feet and make it a lot easier

and quicker to go for a swim in the pool today.

Can you talk under water?

We can't talk underwater, but we use hand signals. So this is OK.

That's fantastic.

We've then got this signal - "let's go up to the surface".

"Let's go down". If we were to have a problem, we signal like this.

Maybe your ears are hurting, so you can go "problem"

and then point at your ears so we know and we can fix it underwater.

'Now it's time to get in the water.'

I want you to put one arm through there for me.

'We put on the jacket first...'

That's it.

'And last we put on the mask.'

We're going to descend down, so we give that signal down.

'Andy teaches us how to swim underwater.'

'It's really cool and I feel weightless, just like an astronaut.

'I'm telling Andy everything is OK.'

You're amazing.

-So, who's ready for some underwater games?

-Me!

'We are throwing a disc under water.'

'Discs move slower underwater than in air,

'but the water makes us move slower too,

'so the disc is tricky to catch.'

'The torpedo moves even quicker.'

'Good catch, Matthew!'

'We're having an underwater egg and spoon race,

'using ping-pong balls instead of eggs.'

'We need to hold the spoon upside down

'to stop the ping-pong ball floating up.'

'It's really tricky.'

'We're doing underwater somersaults.'

'And barrel rolls.

'The barrel rolls were tricky.'

You guys did absolutely fantastic.

Here's some certificates saying you completed

the Let's Go scuba diving class.

-Wow.

-Now can we jump in the pool?

I think that's a good idea. One, two, three, jump!

You can join The Let's Go Club too.

Just grab a grown-up and head to the CBeebies website.

There's songs to sing along to,

things to make and do and CBeebies Radio too.

Remember, we're the club that never closes.
