It’s easy for qualified divers to dive with Selby Sub Aqua Club. It doesn’t matter who you trained with, if you’ve never dived in the UK before or if you haven’t dived for a while – the doors are open to all. Join us!
Joining Selby Sub Aqua Club could be a great way to maintain and develop your scuba skills. We have a great programme of diving trips, holidays and social events for you to get involved with and we meet every Thursday, from 8pm, at The Unicorn, Bondgate, Selby. If you’d like to meet us there, please let us know beforehand, so we can make sure we have an Instructor there to answer all your questions.
If you have a recognised qualification you do not have to do any cross-over or further training (unless you want to!). It doesn’t matter who you trained with (recreational, commercial or military), if you’ve never dived in the UK before or if you haven’t dived for a few seasons – all very welcome – please join us!
If you did wish to progress your training to gain additional diving skills with us then we can offer many BSAC Skills Development Courses and diver qualifications – all recognised worldwide.
After you have explored the underwater World as an Ocean Diver you will no doubt want to dive deeper and maybe stay longer, the Sport Diver is the next main development in your diving path.
Advancing your scuba diving qualifications to become a Sport Diver gives you the opportunity to perform longer, deeper dives with decompression stops, as well as learning rescue skills to help yourself and your buddy.
The sports diver qualification enhances your knowledge and teaches you some new skills. After qualification and having experienced a variety of challenging open-water conditions you will be allowed to dive to a maximum of 40 metres with a fellow qualified buddy.
What will it cost?
The cost to complete the sport diver is based on enquiry, this is simply because we need to understand where you are with your current training and if you need any refresher training from previous training levels. Drop us an email today and one of our instructors will get in contact.
What will I learn?
During your ocean diver course you learn about the incident pot and the importance of managing stressful situations in a calm manner, in sport diver we take this one step further. You will learn how to spot if something is wrong and what to do in an emergency including self-rescue, recovery of an unresponsive diver and basic life-support skills. You will also learn how to use SMB’s, DSMB’s, Compasses, learn how to reel off from a shot line, and how to plan and conduct decompression dives.
Once you have achieved the necessary level of competency in the above you will then complete a series of depth progression dives – at increments of 5 metres – enabling you to experience different depths associated with challenges and how to manage them.
Take the next step in your diving career and begin helping others.
Want to lead a dive, plan a trip for a group of divers and develop your rescue-management skills? If so, becoming a dive leader is a natural progression for you.
Covering a vast array of theory and challenging open water conditions on completion of the dive leader course you will be certified to dive to 50 metres, once the essential training is completed and similar to the sport diver you will complete depth progression diving to ascertain the 50 metre limit.
In addition to depth you will also gain expertise in planning dives for groups of divers, lead the dive if you wish, manage a rescue situation in an emergency, including carrying out casualty assessment and administering basic life support with oxygen.
