“ The image is of my dive computer after one of my training dives at Capernwray , Narelle explained . “ My instructor Sue was helping me to practice buoyancy and controlled ascents and it was the first time I felt like I had really got it . It was a great feeling - I was so happy !”
BSAC ’ s Head of Community , Debbie Powell , said the annual # DiveWithBSAC competition was designed to showcase just what makes diving with BSAC so special .
“ We have been really impressed by the diverse range of images and videos shared using the hashtag . Social media is a great way for members and clubs to share their experiences with others . The more we share as a community , the more we raise our visibility .” she explained .
“ What has really stood out in all the images and videos so far is the personal impact snorkelling and scuba has had and just how vibrant our club community and BSAC diving is . Not only is it a celebration of our vibrant community but will hopefully encourage new divers as well as already trained to discover more about BSAC .”
