Ocean Diver Training

The BSAC Ocean Diver training is where your training journey starts. Our qualified instructors begin teaching the basics of diving in a pool environment before taking you out, usually into the quarries to gain experience and confidence under the water. Completion of this course allow you to dive with other members who are ocean divers or above, under the supervision of a dive manager up to a depth of 20m.

The only requirements for this course are that you are 14 years of age or older and can comfortably swim 200m in a pool.

Sports Diver Training

The Sports Diver training course is the next step for those that have completed the Ocean Diver course (or other equivalent course ). It builds on your diving experience and develops the skills required to prepare you to start diving up to 40m.

This course consists of six theory modules, a practical session on how to support a Dive Manager, a sheltered-water rescue skills session and six open-water dives with plenty of time to practice your skills.

Dive Leader Training

The Dive Leader training course is perfect for those who want to take a more active role in the club. Dive Leader allows you to organise activities and dives for the club. The training prepares you to dive in a range of challenging conditions.

Transfer Your Skills

Anyone can join the Golden Lion Sub Aqua Club with any level of experience. If you have started your training elsewhere with a different diving organisation then your skills can be transferred over as per the BSAC equivalency chart. If you would like to dive with us please contact us, or drop in to one of club nights in Mold.
