Training Courses

Watford Underwater Club has a number of fully qualified Advanced and Open Water Instructors and we carry out courses for:

  • Ocean Diver
  • Sports Diver
  • Dive Leader
  • Advanced Diver

From 2012 we are  offering a 10 week SNORKEL Diver Training course. This is a new section to our club. Equiries to info@wuc.org.uk

 

  • Practical pool lessons are held each Thursday at Watford Central Baths, from 21:00 to 22:00
  • Classroom lessons are normally held on Thursday nights in the class room from 20.00, although alternative arrangements are occasionally made.
  • Open Water Training and assessments will generally be held at weekends and will probably be based at a suitable inland site.
  • Skill Development Courses (SDCs), are additional items of training offered by the BSAC to supplement the Diver training courses, and cover general subject areas such as Rescue, Diving skills, Seamanship, and Marine Science. Course subjects might be First Aid, Search and Recovery techniques, Boat handling, and Marine Life Identification. These courses are run from time to time within the branch, and more frequently by the Regional Coaching Team and BSAC schools. Courses will normally be one or two days at weekends with a mixture of classroom and practical work.
