FROM BEGINNER TO ADVANCED, SELBY SUB AQUA CLUB PROVIDE A FULL BSAC TRAINING PROGRAMME THAT ALLOWS DIVERS TO PROGRESS THROUGH A FRAMEWORK OF QUALIFICATIONS AT THEIR OWN PACE.

HOW ABOUT A "TRY DIVE"

From 8 years old.
Only £20.
If you've always wanted to learn to dive or are simply curious about SCUBA, then a Try Dive with Selby Sub Aqua Club is the perfect introduction!
In the safe confines of the Selby Leisure Centre pool, our Instructors will introduce you to the basic skills and equipment needed to experience the thrill of breathing underwater for the very first time!
All equipment included.

OCEAN DIVER TRAINING

From 14 years.
This is our entry-level qualification.
An Ocean Diver has the essential knowledge and skills for open water diving and is competent to conduct dives in familiar conditions with another Ocean Diver, to a maximum depth of 20m, at a suitable dive site selected and supervised by a dive marshal.
If you are a PADI Open Water or PADI AOW diver, you would join us at this level.

SPORTS DIVER

Sports Diver training builds on the open water diving skills learned at entry level and introduces rescue and resuscitation training.
After suitable experience building dives with an instructor or other experienced diver, a Sports Diver can undertake dives with other Sports Divers to a maximum depth of 35m. These dives may require mandatory decompression stops.
A Sports Diver can begin training as a diving instructor and become an Assistant Instructor.
If you are a PADI Rescue Diver you would join us at this level.

DIVE LEADER

For the next two qualifications you would do a mix of training with us and attending regional courses.
A Dive Leader is trained in the responsibilities and safety aspects of leading less experienced divers on open water dives. He/she has rescue management skills to cope with unforeseen emergencies.
After progessive depth experience dives, he/she is qualified to dive to a maximum of 50m. A Dive Leader is competent to marshal and supervise branch dives at familiar locations and sites. This is the minimum grade required to qualify as a diving instructor.
If you are a PADI Dive Master you would join us at this level.

ADVANCED DIVER

An Advanced Diver is considered comprehensively trained, experienced and responsible. He/she can manage and supervise adventurous and challenging diving, and organise branch expeditions to explore unfamiliar diving locations.
