Course Content

One lesson in the pool followed by five lessons

What you get
|
When you have completed the course and your
five experience dives you can present your BSAC
Qualification Record Book to your DO (or BSAC
HQ) who will then award the Sports diver
certification. This qualifies you to dive to
35m(following assessed depth progression) when
accompanied by a diver with similar or a higher
level of qualification. If you are not a
current member of BSAC, or if you have
qualifications from another agency such as PADI
you can still do the course, and you will then
get a free 3-month membership of BSAC direct.
