From beginner to experienced, BSAC provides a full Diver Training Programme that enables divers to progress through a framework of qualifications at their own pace.
There are seven internationally-recognised BSAC diver grades, from the entry-level courses – Discovery Diver and Ocean Diver – through to our highest grade, First Class Diver.
The Diver Training Programme is regularly updated and improved to keep pace with developments in equipment and diving knowledge. The programme is designed to build confidence and self-reliance. Diving skills are taught progressively so that each new experience is built upon step by step.
Training is primarily delivered through BSAC clubs, by qualified instructors over a series of weekly evening sessions and weekend open water training, with the opportunity for regular diving to hone your skills. You can also complete your training over a shorter period of time through a BSAC centre.
