Branches usually conduct diver training over a number of weeks at weekly training sessions.
Training is conducted by qualified instructors and all necessary equipment is supplied by the Branch. When you learn with a Branch you will become a BSAC member relatively early on in your training and will immediately be entitled to the full benefits of BSAC membership. By joining a BSAC Branch you are able to participate in the full range of club activities, including continuing and specialist courses arranged by the Branch or the BSAC Regional structure, as well as all social activities, weekend diving trips to inland or coastal sites and diving holidays. Some Branches are superbly equipped with their own boats and compressors and are able to mount fascinating diving trips and expeditions. When necessary, Branches charter dive boats at coastal locations for their own organised dives.
