Training

Never dived before?

If you have never dived before I would highly recommend doing a try dive with us to see if diving is for you for the minimal cost of £15.

This will involve one night in our swimming pool where a qualified instructor will take through the basics of diving. You will get a brief introduction to snorkelling and then be introduced to the diving equipment and get to use it in the pool.

If after this session you feel diving is not for you, you can walk away with no obligation.

If however, as we hope, you are amazed by the feeling of being underwater and want to continue learning, you can join the club and begin on the Ocean Diver course. This is the first step on the BSAC ladder.

Already a qualified diver?

If you are a qualified diver with the BSAC or with another agency you can join our club and whatever qualification you have it will be honoured.

All we require you to do is have a session in the pool with one of our instructors and attend a short lecture introducing you to our club and the BSAC. If you feel your skills need refreshing we can provide a short course to assist you.

Special courses

Within the branch we can run many skill development courses that incorporate supplementary skills not included within the main syllabus and develop known ideas to more advanced levels.
