If you take a look near the top of the page there should be a dropdown called "Take me to". If you click that and select Links there is a link there to all the BSAC sites including the Snorkelling one. And infact there seems to be a link at the top of this thread also.

There is a nice diagram on the site showing the grades

hope that helps.

Just to add to what has already been siad, there is a full set of qualifications which follow a simialr path to scuba . There is Basic Snorkel Diver, Snorkel Diver, Ocean Snorkel Diver , Advanced Snorkel Diver and Snorkel Dive Marshall.

BSAC have a training log book which is availiable from branches and also from BSAC HQ.

There is a list of snorkelling branches on the BSAC snorkelling site http://www.bsacsnorkelling.co.uk/training/branches.htm These tend to be specialist branches but several Scuba branches do offer snorkel trianing so it may be worth asking at you local branch if there is not a specialist near you.
