Scubanaut Diving Club has an active training programme that encourages new and existing members to develop and practice their skills through courses, refresher sessions and skill development courses. Please contact the Training Officer, Nick Keightley, regarding any training needs or questions.
Lectures take place at the pool on a club evening, or otherwise by arrangement. These are conducted in parallel with the pool training sessions in the dive tank. Open water training is conducted at Stoney Cove in Leicester - this is usually at weekends, but some instructors are available mid-week.
BSAC Ocean Diver
This course provides the essential knowledge and skills needed to prepare for open water diving. The Ocean Diver course prepares for this in the safety of a swimming pool or sheltered water and an introduction to open water in a controlled, safe manner. Experience and confidence will be gained under the guidance of a qualified instructor. Maximum depth - 20m.
We have an active program of Ocean diver trainees undertaking their theory lessons, pool work and Open water training. We are happy to accommodate new trainees, please contact us.
Skills Refresher
As well as teaching new divers we are happy to offer skills refresher courses to qualified divers who may be a bit rusty and who have not had the opportunity to dive recently.
BSAC Sports Diver
Sports Diver training builds a sound foundation of open water diving skills and experience with structured, practical lessons. Qualified Sports Divers are ready to take part in dives with other Sports Divers or higher. Depth can be built progressively to a maximum of 35m after qualfying.
We have an ongoing Sports Diver training for existing trainees who are at differing stages of their course. New trainees are welcome.
BSAC Dive Leader
Dive Leader training covers responsibilities and safety of leading other divers. Practical lessons will give divers confidence to deal with emergencies. Leading a dive will develop enjoyment, confidence and experience as a diver. Depth can be built progressively to a maximum of 50m after qualfying.
After successfully completing the dive leader theory we have several dive leader trainees planning to complete open water skill training in early 2010 - ready for the new diving season. We are happy to organise new Dive Leader grade training in 2010 for those interested.
Cross-over
We welcome divers from PADI, SAA, CMAS and other diving organisations and can organise appropriate cross-over training to suit individual requirements.
Instructor Training
We always encourage members to pass on their skills and experience to members by becoming Instructors and increase the Instructor base of the club. The club actively assist in the cost of members undertaking instructor courses.
