BSAC


This is outdated and needs to be re-written. Well to be honest we could never understand BSAC. They are very unclear about everything except the fact that Prince Charles is their patron. Explains it, huh?

Quite frankly we couldn't recommend BSAC as there is very little known on the structure of their courses and materials. we could be being a bit harsh but have you looked at their web site, oh dear! It took us 5 minutes to find the courses then we had to figure out which one was what.

One thing we know is that BSAC clubs are very renowned for producing excellent divers that are well suited to cold water diving. They place an emphasis on repetitive training in the water. The only problem with this method is that your average diver does not want to be a hard-core cold water diver but instead just wants to go have some fun on holiday. For that reason alone we have heard of so many people who have not finished their courses.

So if you're as tough as nails and have a lot of time to spend then BSAC are the way to go. Otherwise try one of the more professional organisations that better suit your needs.
