BSAC Sports Diver Course

Qualified BSAC Sports Divers are ready to take part in dives with other BSAC Sports Divers or higher and the depth of your dives can be built progressively to a maximum of 35m (after qualifying). The BSAC Sports Diver can also embark on the first stage of the route of instruction.

The BSAC Sports Diver course programme is used to develop BSAC Ocean Divers (or equivalent) into BSAC Sports Divers.

The BSAC Sport Diver Course consists of the following elements:

• Six classroom lessons – here you will cover a range of subjects including diver rescue, techniques for using shot lines, SMBs and a diving compass, and planning for deeper diving (including decompression diving),
• A theory assessment,
• A dry practical lesson,
• One Sheltered Water lesson,
• One optional Refresher/Orientation dive,
• Five Open Water lessons – here you will have experience of a range of 5 different conditions during a minimum
  in-water time of 150 mins since gaining the BSAC Ocean Diver qualification.

You will also understand, and practice, the role of an Assistant Dive Marshal by maintaining a dive log and understanding the relevance and importance of the information recorded for safe buddy pairing and adequate dive monitoring.

With Atlantis Diving Centre you will have a safe, fun and high quality BSAC Sports Diver course experience.
