This study examined the informal learning strategies of individuals who were
among the first to belong to the original small group of British Columbian recreational
divers. These individuals included breath-hold divers, users of Oxygen Re-breathers, and
users of Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (scuba). Through the
narratives provided by the divers themselves and other corroborative evidence, this
qualitative investigation looked at who the divers were and how they approached
learning to dive in this context of informal learning: that is, how they learned about and acquired
the skills and knowledge needed for diving, and the changes in attitude and
aspirations they acquired which stemmed from those learning activities.
