BSAC Japan’s 2025 award winners were recently honoured at a series of regional meetings held in Tokyo, Osaka and Okinawa.
Part of BSAC International, BSAC Japan manages the development and operation of a parallel BSAC training and certification system for Japanese divers.
Each year, BSAC Japan celebrates the success of its network of Dive Centres as part of its annual regional get-togethers.
BSAC Japan in Okinawa
BSAC Japan is not a membership-based organisation in the same way as BSAC UK is. Training is delivered through approved dive centres and shops who have their own instructors, and through independent instructors.
Aqua Gift has trained more than 500 Ocean Divers over the last year
Pre-Covid, BSAC Japan held an Annual Meeting for dive centres and instructors and at this meeting updates to training were communicated, and safety messages were communicated and awards presented. The meeting was a combination of business and training discussions, combined with celebration of success and lots of fun.
