Extra activity
Another excellent activity to do after these worksheets is to show your students some underwater photographs. The best way to do this is to download and project them for the class.
Display pictures of diving scenes, divers, equipment, and sea animals. Then ask your students to describe what they see in as much detail as possible. This really helps reinforce the vocabulary learnt and gives the class a chance to practise speaking and get their pronunciation correct.
