This course builds on the skills and experience that you learned on your basic training courses and develops the skills and attitudes required for you to regularly and
confidently plan and lead dives with other divers of a similar or more junior level.
You will learn about planning and managing diving, additional first aid for diving
related injuries, as well as advanced diving skills and techniques for leading divers
underwater. In addition this course includes the BSAC Oxygen Administration Course
which teaches you how to administer oxygen to diving related casualties.
Why BSAC Dive Leader?
When you have completed the course and your five experience dives you can present
your BSAC Qualification Record Book to your DO (or BSAC HQ) who will then award
the BSAC Dive Leader certification. This qualifies you to dive to 45m or 147 ft
(following assessed depth progression) when accompanied by a diver with similar
or a higher level of qualification. You can also then take less experienced divers
to dives within their maximum depth qualification. If you are not a current member
of BSAC, or if you have qualifications from another agency such as PADI you can
still do the course, and you will then get a free 3-month membership of BSAC direct.
What do I need to start?
You must hold a second level qualification, such as BSAC Sports Diver, or equivalent.
You must pass BSAC Medical, and be over 14 years of age. You should have a BSAC
Qualification Record Book. Divers who are contemplating this level of course should
have the majority of their own equipment.
Note Referrals: If you have completed part of the course already
(e.g. academics in the UK), we can accept the referral providing you present us
with the signed BSAC Qualification Record Book (QRB). Pricing will depend
upon content that you have already completed.
What will I do?
Seven lessons in the sea, twelve theory lectures including oxygen administration,
some reading, dive planning and marshaling practice and a final exam. If you are
already taking a Dive Leader course with a UK BSAC branch you can complete just
those sessions that you require with us.
How long will it take?
Usually 6-7 days. All transfers included. Timetabled to suit any other holiday or
partner commitments.What will I need?

Where can I go from here?

as part of branch diving activities. Take the BSAC Advanced
Diver course and broaden your knowledge, increase your confidence, and take part
in some really great adventure
dives, or take a Nitrox course, boat handling, or any of BSAC's other skill development
courses. You can also start or continue BSAC instructor training.
