The BSAC has been training people to dive since the early fifties. During this time their diver training programmes have been regularly updated and improved, to keep pace with developments in equipment and diving knowledge. The programmes are designed to build confidence and self-reliance, whilst keeping safety uppermost. IMPORTANT - Please note that training beyond BSAC Ocean Diver requires you to hold full diving membership of the BSAC.
