Adventure Diver course

Wave Shape

The Adventure Diver course is an ‘enhanced’ try dive experience, which gives potential new members credit towards Ocean Diver qualification.

It’s a more comprehensive scuba taster for those interested in learning to dive.

Who is the Adventure Diver course for?

The aim of this course is to enable young people to begin their scuba journey in a fun and affordable way.

It is also a great way for clubs and centres to ‘fast-track’ keen try divers towards becoming qualified scuba divers, and help bring the next generation of divers into the club.

To enrol on the Adventure Diver course you must:

  • Be at least 14 years old
  • Complete a self-declaration of dive fitness
  • Be able to swim 200 metres

The course costs £60 and comes with 12 months’ BSAC membership included, plus 10 issues of iSCUBA

There is one sheltered in-water session where you’ll get to develop practical scuba skills under the watchful eye of an instructor. Cost for this will be extra and depend on the location and dry-suit hire.

 

The skills you’ll learn

Adventure Diver brings together the first elements of scuba training to give you the thrill of the underwater world!

During this course you will learn:

  • How to correctly fit a mask
  • How to fit, use and clear a snorkel
  • How to breathe comfortably from a demand valve (regulator) underwater
  • How to develop a good finning action
  • Good horizontal trim position underwater
  • Basic scuba signals, including ‘ok’, ‘up’, ‘down’ and more
What you’ll be able to do

On completion of both the Adventure Diver eLearning theory and practical elements of the course, you will be given credit towards a full BSAC scuba qualification.

What diving experiences will this open up for me?

With the knowledge and experience from Adventure Diver you’ll understand the basics of breathing underwater using scuba.

Completing this course will give you a head start on becoming a qualified scuba diver with BSAC. You’ll receive 10 digital issues of the member magazine (iSCUBA) as part of your membership, giving you inspiration for the adventures that await and introducing you to the BSAC community of passionate divers and snorkellers across the world.

After completing your Adventure Diver course

With BSAC’s Adventure Diver course, your diving adventure is only just beginning. You’re only a few modules away from becoming an Ocean Diver (from age 14), which is the next grade in BSAC’s Diver Training Programme and opens up diving to depths of up to 20m.
