Can anyone tell me whats involved in crossing over from PADI,extra training etc as i am now a student, and wish to get further training, padi is way out of my price range!
My experiance consists of 10 ow dives in semi-dry and have just been given a dry-suit, but padi want ?90+ and rescue training is even more
Hi Kevin
See the link I've provided, that gives you a lot more information, for even more detail try <a href="http://www.bsac.org/techserv/salt.pdf" >http://www.bsac.org/techserv/salt.pdf</a>
If you're a PADI OW diver then you become a BSAC Ocean Diver, we'll give you an introduction to the club, a lesson about our decompression tables and a quick skill review - then you're a BSAC diver.
It depends a lot on which club you join, some do more training than others. What I suggest you do is look at our branch locator ( <a href="http://www.bsac.org/branches/branchlist.htm" >http://www.bsac.org/branches/branchlist.htm</a>) and give a few local branches a visit as a guest for the evening. Talk to people in the club, tell them about yourself and ask them about training further with the BSAC.
You wont be alone Kevin, thousands of divers cross over from PADI and the other agencies every year to enjoy the benefits of our club environment.
Kind Regards
Keith L
