BSAC Ocean DiverOcean Diver Course OutlineThe Ocean Diver Course consists of the following elements:
Ocean Diver Theory Lessons Classroom Lessons are structured to provide prerequisite knowledge appropriate to different elements of the Sheltered and Open Water lessons. OT1 Ocean Diver Training OT2 Diving Equipment and Diving Signals OT3 The Body and Effects of Diving OT4 Planning to go Diving OT5 Going Diving OT6 What Happens If? OT7 Enjoying Your Diving 
Ocean Diver Sheltered Water LessonsThe Ocean Diver lessons are structured very much on the 'less haste more speed' principle. The lessons concentrate on the students acquiring basic skills, such as buoyancy control, finning etc, to a level where they become second nature, and students become relaxed underwater and develop confidence in their own abilities. This builds a firm foundation on which other skills, such as navigation or the use of Surface Marker Buoys, can be overlaid in future Sports Diver training. OS1 Being Underwater OS2 Basic Skills OS3 Developing Skills OS4 Beyond the Basics OS5 Safety Skills Ocean Diver Open Water Lessons The emphasis on the Open Water dives is to take the skills already taught during the Sheltered Water lessons into the Open Water environment. OO1 The First Open Water Dive OO2 The Second Open Water Dive OO3 The Third Open Water Dive OO4 The Fourth Open Water Dive OO5 The Fifth Open Water Dive To ensure that students receive experience in a range of conditions, the Open Water dives must include four conditions from the following, appropriate to the local conditions in which they will subsequently be diving:
