Regional Coach is a volunteer role.  The Regional Coach is leader of the regional team.  In the South East I’m lucky to have a very strong keen team of Area Coaches, Instructors and other volunteers. The team’s role is to provide support to the branches and members (including direct members) within the region in a number of ways including:

• Run Skill Development Courses (SDCs) which branches may not have the instructors or equipment to run themselves.
• Providing instructors to assist in branch with SDCs or any other training where the branch may be short of instructors
• Communicate information on news, best practice, updates and policy from BSAC National Diving Committee (NDC), council and HQ
• Provide mentoring for branch officers and instructors
• Encourage inter-branch relations to share instructors, resources and boat spaces
• Run expeditions to do the kind of diving many branches don’t have the experience, numbers or resources to organise themselves

The Southern Region has recently appointed a new Regional Coach, Clive Puddifoot, who will be building a new team with those who have keep the region running for the past months.  The intention is to get support back in place for all divers and branches in the region.

Our prime aim is to provide the best branch support possible within the Region. The South West Regional coaching team aim to expand on the links between the regions branches and assist with any matters BSAC members require help with. Providing support for all aspects of diver training from new membership to SDC's and First Class Diver is key to helping people enjoy our fantastic maritime heritage

Within the region we have about 80 branches inclusive of university clubs and special branches on military bases. The regional coaching team is available to provide training / Skill Development Courses (SDCs) and branch support. Some of the team are also active in specialist aspects of diving at national level and are helping to shape the future of safe diving techniques for all BS-AC members. There is also support for any instructors who would like to build on their experience by helping out in the region on SDCs and other appropriate events.
