BSAC Courses
British Sub Aqua Club
Our training program has been structured by the BRITISH SUB AQUA CLUB. They are the world's largest diving club with over 50,000 members to their credit. Part of BSAC's popularity is the club system where divers get together to provide training, share social events and meet regularly to arrange weekly dive programs for their members.
As a BSAC PREMIER SCHOOL we teach the first entry level called OCEAN DIVER which on completion of the program will give you an internationally recognised certificate enabling you to dive anywhere in the world.
The course is divided into four elements: 8 theory lessons, 5 sheltered water sessions, theory and practical assessments and four open water dives. €435.00
