BSAC Ocean Diver Course

Your instructor will start by getting you comfortable breathing underwater in a pool or sheltered water and then develop your skills so that you are competent to dive safely in open water. After that you’ll head out for a series of at least four dives to develop your skills and confidence in open water.

On your open water diving course, you’ll:

    Learn how to use basic dive gear, including your mask and snorkel.
    Control your buoyancy and underwater movements
    Understand your basic scuba diving safety skills – you’ll find out the importance of time, depth and gas
    Discover how to plan and manage your diving.

The ocean diver course includes six theory modules, at least five sessions in a pool or sheltered water, and at least four open-water dives.

Our ocean diver course is continually assessed. So, after your classroom and in-water training and a short theory exam,  you’ll have the grounding to continue your scuba diving journey as an open water diver.
