The club welcomes both experienced divers and complete beginners, offering opportunities to learn and develop at an individual pace. Members train every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. in the Tijenraan swimming pool, where they build fitness, practise essential skills and learn new techniques. On Sunday mornings, the group heads to open water at dive sites near Raalte, making diving a year-round activity close to home.

Those curious about diving can attend a free introductory evening on the first Wednesday of each month, from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m., with an instructor.
