Was looking for diving centres and clubs in South West France when I came across the one in the link below.

It`s in Biarritz. I can`t find it on any of the schools or club listings on this website. Maybe they`ve slipped through the net.

Anyone give me any info on if this centre still exsists, and if they are still affiliated to the Club ?

Forget this, it says B.A.S.C. and not B.S.A.C. unless the sign writer was having a bad day !!!!!!!!!!!

BASC? That's the British Association for Shooting & Conservation!

....let me guess, Punt-Gunning from a RIB?

Just to solve the mystery - it stands for Biarritz Aquatique Scaphandre Club.
There are no BSAC-affiliated Centres on the Atlantic Coast of France. Where exactly are you ailing for?

I must have looked at that picture for about 5 minutes before deciding on the posting. I could have sworn it said BSAC, but it clearly did`nt. It was however posted on the morning after a heavy bout of decompressing.

Anyway, I`ve learnt a bit more about diving in SW France. What is the diving like down there (as we are on the subject)
