From beginner to advanced, BSAC Adelaide provides the full BSAC training programme enabling divers to progress through a framework of qualifications at their own pace.
BSAC’s Ocean Diver course is the place to start. This entry-level open water diver qualification will equip you with the core skills to dive to a maximum of 20 metres in open water, in South Australia, interstate and overseas.
With BSAC, diving skills are taught progressively, with each new skill and experience built upon, step-by-step. The blend of theory, swimming pool and open water skills sessions along with continual technique practice enables you to develop your diving in a safe and enjoyable way.
With BSAC there are five internationally-recognised diver grades, from the entry-level Ocean Diver through to First Class Diver.

This is the best value scuba training we think you’ll find!
As a beginner, you will have lots of questions about scuba diving equipment. Do I need all the dive kit from the very start? How expensive is it to get all the kit I need?
Once you start your Ocean Diver training, it’s a good idea to purchase your own basic gear – a mask, fins and snorkel.
When you progress to open water you will require a wetsuit or semi-drysuit. These can be hired, but you may want to purchase your own to ensure a good fit and familiarisation. It is often only when you are qualified that divers obtain their own full set of gear.
As with most specialist gear, there can be a huge range in prices, but budget on $200 upwards for a pair of fins, mask and snorkel. Wetsuits for South Australia diving start from around $500 and drysuits from $2,000. To fully equip a diver, expect to pay around $3,000 although if your kit is well-maintained this will be a long-term investment.
