We have three Open Water Instructors and three Advanced Instructors in our training team . We can be stretched when looking after our newer divers and delivering training to more experienced divers . Instructors are developed during visits by overseas National Instructors .
Do you run any Skill Development Courses ?
We can run most SDCs up to CCR MOD 2 . Recently we ran a compressor course for 12 people . We are running a Trimix Sports Mixed Gas / Explorer Mixed Gas course , and carrying out some Diver Cox ’ n assessments . We have plans to run Accelerated Decompression Procedures , Nitrox Blender and a Twin-set Diver course . organisation leading citizen scientists to promote stewardship of sustainable reef communities worldwide .
In March , a BSAC instructor will be coming over so that we can build on our already impressive training team . Ten of our divers will be doing the Open Water Instructor course so that we can start to run Ocean Diver training . This will be a big step for our club and we are very excited . �
