Ocean Diver
Fancy learning to scuba dive? ​
​
Scuba diving is an adventure open to anyone aged 12 or over - and with our worldwide network of clubs and centres providing accessible, affordable scuba diving lessons, it's never been easier to learn to dive.
​
BSAC has long been in on the secret of how exciting our seas are to scuba dive - our members have been taking scuba diving lessons and safely diving, exploring and enjoying Britain’s seas (and many other places around the world) for 60 years. Join us!
Try scuba diving.
The first time you breathe underwater is an experience to remember – and you will be surprised by just how much fun it is.
​
A typical Try Dive session involves poolside tuition on diving techniques and equipment, followed by a scuba dive in the local pool or at a local inshore training facility with BSAC-qualified instructors to make sure you get maximum enjoyment from your first scuba dive.
A Try-Dive can help you save time and money by finding out in advance if you like diving.
While you will need to be reasonably fit for the Ocean Diver course, it is by no means an endurance test. Provided that you are over the age of 12, a reasonable swimmer and in good health, you're ready to take that first step to learn to dive.
​
Through a combination of theory lessons, pool sessions and open water experience, you'll learn your new diving skills progressively and at your own pace. You will develop your skills in the safe confines of a swimming pool or sheltered water before progressing to your first open water dives and your Ocean Diver qualification.
​
As a newly qualified diver, you can continue on through BSAC’s diver grades and learn new specialist diving skills. You can dive regularly in the UK's beautiful and diverse waters or add a new dimension to your next holiday abroad.
Sports Diver
Want to build on your skills after doing an Ocean Diver course?
BSAC Sports Diver training builds on the scuba skills you learnt in the Ocean Diver course (or entry level qualification from another agency) and helps develop your confidence, skills and experience in the water to allow you to enjoy a wider range of diving sites and conditions. The course builds a sound foundation of open water diving skills and experience with structured, practical lessons. This is a good way of getting more dives under your belt while learning under the supervision of a qualified instructor.
​
Qualified BSAC Sports Divers are ready to take part in dives with other Ocean Divers or higher grade divers. Depth can be built progressively to a maximum of 35m after qualfying*. Sports Divers can embark on the first stage of the route of instruction.
*To complete the depth progression you need be over 14 years old. Those under 14 years can qualify to Sports Diver but can dive to a maximum depth of 20m

This comprehensive course is a mix of classroom-based and practical lessons that will give divers confidence to plan, lead and manage dives, and deal with emergencies.
