If you are new to the sport and have no qualifications through any other agency, you start at Ocean Diver. Contact our Membership Secretary who will arrange for you to visit us on club night at Highgrove Pool where we meet every Thursday evening at 8.30pm. You will be invited to have a try dive so that you can experience what it is like to breathe underwater and to ensure you want to progress. From here we will plan a course for you based on your availability and that of our fully qualified instructors, who are all unpaid volunteers.
If you have a recognised qualification, such as PADI, you do not have to do any cross-over or further training unless you want to. If you’ve never dived in the UK before or if you haven’t dived for a few seasons you are still very welcome to join our club.
Instructors who have trained with other agencies are also very welcome. There is a straightforward induction process which recognises instructor qualifications and accreditation to able to deliver BSAC instruction.
