Description

Since September 2021, BSAC does not offer an “Advanced Ocean Diver” course. However, they do offer the BSAC Sports Diver course, which serves as the next level of training for divers who have completed the Ocean Diver course. The Sports Diver course focuses on refining skills, increasing diving depth limits, and introducing new diving activities and techniques.

The Sports Diver course consists of three main components:

Theoretical Knowledge: Students attend classroom sessions or complete eLearning modules, covering advanced diving concepts, such as decompression diving, rescue skills, and first aid. This ensures that they have a thorough understanding of the principles behind more advanced diving activities.
Skill Development Sessions: Under the supervision of a qualified BSAC instructor, participants practice essential skills in a confined water environment, such as a swimming pool. These sessions help them refine their fundamental skills and develop new techniques, including rescue skills, alternative air source use, and deploying a delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB).
Open Water Dives: After mastering the new skills in a confined water environment, students complete a series of open water dives. These dives provide the opportunity to apply their newfound skills in real-world conditions, under the guidance of their instructor. During these dives, students will gain experience in various underwater environments and scenarios, including diving at depths up to 35 meters (115 feet).
To enroll in the BSAC Sports Diver course, participants must hold a BSAC Ocean Diver certification or equivalent from a recognized dive organization and be at least 14 years old.

Upon successful completion of the Sports Diver course, graduates will be certified to dive up to a maximum depth of 35 meters (115 feet) with a similarly qualified buddy. The Sports Diver certification also serves as a foundation for further diving education, such as the BSAC Dive Leader course, which further expands divers’ skill sets, depth limits, and leadership abilities.
