Taking your BSAC Dive Leader Course in the
subtropical waters of Gran Canaria
|
This course builds on the skills and experience
that you learned on your basic training courses
and develops the skills and attitudes required
for you to regularly and confidently plan and
lead dives with other divers of a similar or
more junior level.
If you are having difficulty organising, or
completing your BSAC Dive Leader Training
within a BSAC branch, then you have the option
to complete all or part of it with our training
school. We will complete the required training
within the warm, sub-tropical waters of the
marine reserve here on Gran Canaria and ensure
that you meet the standards set by BSAC for
this course.
|
|
Minimum Requirements
|
Must hold a second level qualification, such as
BSAC Sports diver, or equivalent. Must pass
BSAC Medical, and be over 14 years of age. You
should have a BSAC Qualification Record Book.
Divers who are contemplating this level of
course should have the majority of their own
equipment.

Course Content
|
Seven lessons in the sea in the marine reserve,
twelve theory lectures including oxygen
administration, some reading, dive planning and
marshaling practice and a final exam. If you

UK BSAC branch you can complete just those
sessions that you require with us.

|
|
You will learn about planning and
managing diving, additional first aid for
diving related injuries, as well as
advanced diving skills and techniques for
leading divers underwater. In addition
this course includes the BSAC Oxygen
Administration Course which teaches you

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 BSAC Dive Leader
certification. This qualifies you to dive to
45m(following assessed depth progression) when
accompanied by a diver with similar or a higher
level of qualification. You can also then take
less experienced divers to dives within their
maximum depth 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.

Join a BSAC branch and plan and lead some
more adventure dives. Explore new areas
as part of branch diving activities. Take
the BSAC Advanced Diver course and
broaden your knowledge, increase your
confidence, and take part in some really
great adventure dives, or take a Nitrox
course, boat handling, or any of BSAC's
other skill development courses. You can
also start or continue BSAC instructor
training.

Price

Price will vary with the number of elements
taken, and you can do anything from 1 element
up to the whole course. To take all the
modules, in the Marine Reserve the price is
€525.00 but this excludes personal
equipment hire and any supplements for boat
diving.
To dive in Spain, you must be fit to dive. You will fill in an WRSTC/PADI self-certification medical form and if you reply 'No' to all the questions you need no further checks. If you reply 'Yes' to some of the questions you will need to get a medical check done by a doctor. These can be arranged in Gran Canaria for between €30 and €40.
In order to keep the centre free of COVID-19 we insist that all students are free of symptoms and recent contacts. When vaccination roll-out reaches your age-group we expect you to be vaccinated before arrival.
