Training
Each B.S.A.C qualification generally consists of a series of classroom based lectures along with lessons in the pool and open water.
Lectures occur at the South Tyneside College in South Shields in Block D room A229 from 7.00pm to 9.00pm.
Pool Lessons currently take place at the Hebburn Swimming Baths between 8.00pm to 10.00pm.
Try Dives also occur at this time and cost £10 for the hire of kit and any air used.
Our Instructors
We are a very active club and provide a high standard of teaching to many new and existing memebers. We currently
have a team of five B.S.A.C Open Water Instructors, with additional support from a team of Dive Leaders. They are expereinced
in all aspects of sport SCUBA diving at home and abroad.
Classroom
An integral part of any course includes a number of classroom based lectures. These will provide the student with the necessary theory needed for
each B.S.A.C qualification. After a series of lectures, the student will need to complete a brief test before continuing on to the next stage.
Pool Lessons
This is where the majority of teaching occurs during the early stages of learning. The safe environment of a pool allows the student to practice all of the necessary and important skills needed
before entering open water. It also offers a chance for the more experienced diver to practise with any new kit or brush up on saftey skills.
Open Water Lessons
After attending classroom based lectures and pool practicals the student is now ready for lessons in open water. Skills learnt during practical
sessions can now be put into practice and more demanding technqiues can be developed such as navigation and saftey procedures.
