Further Training
As well as entry level training we also teach the high level BSAC grades from Sport Diver to Advanced diver along some some skill development courses such as Oxygen Administration, Boat Handling and others.
This training is "free" as part of the club structure.
If you don't already hold a BSAC qualification but have a qualification from another agency then don't worry - you wont have to sit all the courses in order to progress. BSAC allows a crossover which allows you to enter the training at a level appropriate to your existing training. Click here to download the alternative training document to see where you'd fit in.
Sports Diver
Once obtaining Ocean Diver the next step on the ladder is "Sports Diver". This course allows you do dive up to 35 metres depth and amongst other things, perform dives requiring mandatory decompression stops. In addition this course will teach you other skills such as surface marker buoy use, rescue skills including CPR and rescue breathing, dive planning and organisation of diving. The qualification involves theory lectures, pool lessons, dry practical's, open water dives and a theory assessment. Click here for a more detailed description of the grade.
Dive Leader
After sports diver the next step is "Dive Leader"
This course greatly expands on the knowledge and skills introduced in Sports Diver and is geared towards teaching an experienced diver how to supervise and dive with those of lesser experience along with conducting more advanced dives. It contains rescue skills, oxygen administration, decompression, air and general dive planning in addition to revisiting existing skills. After completion of Dive Leader you can eventually be certified to dive to a depth of 50m
