This page is designed to give you a brief overview of the training you will undertake.  The complete SCOTSAC Training schedule can be found by following the link for Training Documentation on the left.  

The training is carried out initially in the pool where basic skills can be learnt in safety then progresses to the Open Water.  Before training commences we ask that each person completes a Swimming Test (an easy one!) to ensure a certain level of confidence in the water.

Training Overview

In addition to the practical skills there is also a  theory test which covers various aspects of diving such as Decompression Theory, Diving Physiology etc.

On completion of the training and successfully logging a certain amount of dives you will be awarded with the Sport Diver Qualification which is Internationally recognised.

If you wish you can continue your instruction and gain further advanced diving qualifications.  Courses are also available through SCOTSAC on a number of diving related subjects like Oxygen Administration, Nitrox & Deep Diving.  Full details are available on the SCOTSAC Web Page.  http://www.scotsac.com/home.htm
