Diving Skill Development with the BSACBSAC Skill Development Courses The BSAC provides a wide range of Skill Development Courses for divers at varying levels of proficiency. These courses aim to expand the range of activities open to divers, to introduce them to new subjects and to guide them to higher levels of competence in specialist areas. The Skill Development Courses are grouped into four main categories, and cover the whole spectrum of recreational diving, providing something for every diving interest. Skill Development Courses are run by BSAC Branches, the Regional Coaching Scheme and by BSAC Diver Training Centres. Most courses take place at weekends but some may be offered as evening classes. Each candidate will be issued with a Student Pack containing course notes, and will have their attendance recorded on a database at BSAC HQ, who will subsequently send their logbook certification. BSAC Branches offering Skill Development Courses (SDCs) to their members, may work jointly with other Branches to organise an SDC. The BSAC Regional Coaching Scheme may be able to provide experienced leaders for Branch-run courses. However, if a Branch wishes to have official BSAC approval and thus BSAC SDC Certification, the course must be approved and registered in advance by BSAC HQ in accordance with the SDC Registration Scheme, which involves the payment of a Registration Fee by each and every student. Members who attend a BSAC Skill Development Course, whether run by the Coaching Scheme, a BSAC Diver Training Centre or a Branch, will have their attendance recorded on a database at BSAC HQ, and are sent certification for their Qualification Record Book and in most cases, a cloth badge and presentation certificate. Where BSAC diver training lessons are covered within a Skill Development Course, the Chief Instructor is authorised to sign these lessons in the member's Qualification Record Book.
