Diver Training
From absolute beginner to the more experienced, BSAC provides a full training programme that enables divers to progress through a framework of qualifications at their own pace.
Diver Grades
- There are five internationally-recognised BSAC diver grades, from the entry level Ocean Diver through to our highest grade, First Class Diver.
