Fancy learning to scuba dive? Great – you’re in the perfect place to start scuba diving lessons!
We provide a full BSAC Diver Training Programme through a combination of theory, pool sessions, open water skills. Diving skills are taught progressively so that each new experience is built upon step-by-step. This approach enables you to develop your diving in a safe and enjoyable way at your own pace.
When you learn to dive with Doncaster Sub Aqua Club you’ll start in the swimming pool, then move to confined open water and then to the sea.
Once you have learnt you can dive with your diving buddies (you’ll make plenty of those with us!), either at home or on holiday overseas.

BSAC Sports Diver training builds on the scuba skills you learnt in the Ocean Diver course (or entry level qualification from another agency) and helps develop your confidence, skills and experience in the water to allow you to enjoy a wider range of diving sites and conditions.
Qualified BSAC Sports Divers can dive with other Ocean Divers or higher grade divers. Depth can be built progressively from 20m to a maximum of 35m after qualifying.
As a BSAC Dive Leader you are are becoming an expert in your field of dive leadership. You will also be competent in planning dives for groups of divers and managing diving on the day including, if necessary, managing rescue situations.
This comprehensive course is a mix of classroom-based and practical lessons that will give divers confidence to plan, lead and manage dives, and deal with emergencies. After qualifying, and if you wish, depth can be built progressively to a maximum of 50m – this is the safe diving limit for breathing on normal air. Depth can be increased by qualifying under additional mixed gas courses.
As a BSAC Advanced Diver you are a highly qualified branch diver. This course is for divers who are interested in extending still further their skills in planning and supervising diving groups, rescue management skills, whilst building seamanship and developing further leadership qualities.
