The National Diving Officer is the elected member on Council responsible for all Diving and Training matters within the BSAC. This is a major undertaking and covers amongst other things the following as outlined in the Memorandum and Articles of Association:
"The NDO shall be the adviser to the Council on all technical aspects of diving and shall be responsible for diving arrangements in connection with BSAC activities. He shall prepare diving regulations for approval and publication by Council in which shall be laid down the standards of training and experience and theoretical knowledge required for the purpose of BSAC diving examinations. He shall arrange for examinations to be held and certificates of qualification to be issued to those who attain the required standard in such examinations. He shall report to the Annual General Meeting on all matters which fall within his responsibilities and may be assisted in his work by such person or persons as Council may approve."
This is an indication of the wide-ranging responsibilities of the BSAC National Diving Officer. So that he/she can fulfil their role to the full, the NDO delegates this responsibility to a number of helpers / advisors who collectively make up the BSAC National Diving Committee.
