This page contains manuals, eLearning and tables that provide essential pre-reading for other agency instructors. These are essentially identical to the ones that a BSAC member progressing through the Diver Training Programme (DTP) and instructor training will have received by the time they attend an Open Water Instructor Course (OWIC).
You should pay particular attention to the Instructor Foundation Manual, Safe Diving Guidance and the Open Water Practical Video Demonstrations. The eLearning will also guide you through the process of understanding our tables.
These resources will remain available for future reference.
