The flyer for the 2007 course can be downloaded here for information (note, this was cancelled in 2008 because of lack of interest).

Trainee DLs will need to arrange to do the remaining 3 practical lessons and  DP1 and DP2 (dry practical; Dive Management) through their branches. The regional team should be able to help with this. Contact Development Manager Steve Capes (Steve.capes@bsac.com) for more information.   

 
Advanced Diver Training
The highly popular and successful Advanced Diver training will be repeated in 2008. The theory day will cover theory lessons AT1-4 and the dry practical AP1. The practical day will cover the majority of AO1 and AO2 (due to the amount of ascents involved not all will be completed).  This will be held in September or October 2008 is there is enough interest. Please email Steve Capes for more information.
