Training
Scarborough Sub Aqua Club has a large number of BSAC qualified instructors, both male and female. We're all friendly volunteers and are committed to developing the best divers. We we will never take you out of your comfort zone and all training is accomplished at a speed which you are happy with.
We provide training for a range of different levels of BSAC diver grades:
-
Ocean Diver - Limited to 20 metres
-
Sports Diver - Progression to 40 metres, and increased rescue skills
-
Dive Leader - Progression to 50 metres, and further focus on organising dives
We also offer support for Advanced Diver and First Class Diver, with assistance from the BSAC regional instructor team.
Where do you train?
Pool Training
Introductory pool training takes place at Scarborough Sports Village, where you will learn how to assemble scuba gear, breathe underwater, control your buoyancy, and some self and buddy rescue techniques.
Open Water Dives
After completing your pool sessions, you will then move on to training in Open Water. We typically organise this over a long weekend at Capernwray, a flooded former quarry in Lancashire, around the Easter period.
If the timings don't suit you, we also regularly train at 8 Acre Lake in North Cave, or from our dive boats!
What else can I learn?
SDCs (Skill Development Courses) are also taught in the club from time to time. Currently we have a number of members undergoing instructor, technical and rebreather diver training. Discuss with club members for further information.
