Qualifing as an
Ocean Diver
The Ocean Diver qualification will give you certification to dive to 20m worldwide. Following 8 pool sessions on Wednesday evenings, you complete the course with four open water dives over two weekend days at a local inland dive site.
You must be at least 18 years old, capable of swimming 200 metres unaided in the pool and don’t have a medical condition which would prevent you from diving. On completing the course, you become a proud holder of an internationally-recognised diving qualification from the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC). It will allow you to dive anywhere in the world to a maximum depth of 20 metres.
Course plan
There are up to 8 pool sessions at the Oasis Sports Center in Central London and 3 online theory sessions. These are followed by four open water dives over two days at an inland dive site in sheltered water conditions.
