Instructors

BSAC's extensive network of highly skilled diving instructors is the driving force behind our worldwide reputation for training excellence and safety.

BSAC Instructor Training Scheme runs over 170 events each year, providing training and assessment at all levels for both amateur and professional instructors. BSAC standards are internationally recognised.

For more information about becoming a BSAC Instructor, see the link Scuba Instruction. For a full list of scheduled events, go to Courses and Exams.

Please note that to maintain proper quality control, BSAC does not support independent instructors. All instructors must operate either through a BSAC club, Coaching Teams or as a professional in a BSAC recognised training Centre.
