Ocean Diver

Ocean Diver (formerly Club Diver) is the entry level grade for all new divers joining the BS-AC.  Once qualified to this level the member is certified  to dive within certain limits.

The trainee must be a member of both the BS-AC and Peterborough Sub-Aqua Club for insurance purposes.  There is a one-off "Training Levy" for new members at this level.  The levy enables us to maintain the training equipment and purchase new items as required.

 
Dive Limits:
  • Max Depth: 18M
  • Buddy: Sports Diver minimum
     
 The training for this grade is a set course of:
  • 7 Classroom lessons
  • 5 Sheltered water dives
  • 5 Open water dives
  • Theory Test

The student will also participate in additional specified dives such as low visibility, drift, small boat and large boat dives to become more familiar with the techniques they are learning.

 Equipment:

All trainees are expected to acquire their own

  • Face Mask
  • Snorkel
  • Fins

Other equipment can be provided by the club until the course is completed.
