BSAC Egypt gears up for growth
LAST YEAR , BSAC ANNOUNCED A new licence agreement for the creation of BSAC Egypt that was set to take diving , snorkelling and training in the Red Sea to a new level , with many more BSAC Diver Training Centres set to be created .
Since the travel restrictions eased , work recommenced to increase BSAC Egypt ’ s capacity to deliver training in the Red Sea . In January , two National Instructors – Adrian Collier and John Potten - travelled to the Red Sea to train BSAC Egypt Dive Leaders to become BSAC Open Water Instructors . They also crossed over instructors from other agencies to become BSAC instructors .
BSAC Head of Diving and Training Dom
Robinson said : “ There ’ s a high level of demand for more BSAC instructors , and it ’ s expected there will be training for many more instructors as part of the BSAC Egypt project . More BSAC instructors in Egypt is great news , and we ’ re really looking forward to providing further support to BSAC Egypt as they continue to grow .”
The focus is not just on diving , either . BSAC will be training Snorkel Instructor Trainers to deliver Advanced Snorkel Instructor training . The Advanced Snorkel Instructors who qualify will then be able to train Snorkel Dive Managers ( also known as Snorkel Guides ) throughout the Egyptian Red Sea .
