Fitness to Dive
There are certain medical conditions and histories which may mean that you will not be able to dive. It is for YOUR
safety and well-being that these conditions have been identified. In order to join our Club, you need to undergo and pass a
BSAC medical check-up. TSAC organises a 'Medical Evening' for the Wednesday night a week before each Ocean Diver course
begins. The interview with our Doctor takes about 15 minutes, and costs £50. If you prefer, we can give you the paperwork
and your GP can do the check-up and sign your 'Certificate of Fitness to Dive'. Thereafter, you simply sign a declaration
of fitness every year.
Please note that TSAC requires ALL applicants for diving membership to pass a medical.
Our Club provides:
Diver training which leads to BSAC's internationally recognised diving qualifications.
Nationally qualified instructors, dive leaders and dive organisers.
A friendly social environment for training, diving and recreation.
Fellow divers and buddies to dive with.
Access to Club equipment.
Regular Branch meetings, training courses, open water dives and diving holidays.
Membership of BSAC provides:
A 'Welcome to the BSAC' information pack for new members, which includes a copy of 'Safe Diving'.
12 monthly copies of 'Dive Magazine'.
Public Liability insurance cover up to £2,000,000.
Access to all BSAC member services.
Regional Skill Development Courses.
Instructor Training.
Diving expeditions.
If you are new to the BSAC when you join us, you will also need a 'Student Training Pack'. Or if you are already qualified to
dive with another training agency, you will need a 'Crossover Pack'. Each costs around £35, and contains a Student Study
Guide, Sport Diving Manual, Qualification Record Book and other training materials.
BSAC membership provides public liability insurance cover for members while they are involved in any BSAC related activity.
The cover is Third Party Only. If you have personal accident cover, your insurers will probably want to know about your
intention to dive. Similarly, if you go on to buy your own dive kit, your household contents insurance may need to be
extended.
If you have any questions, please see our contacts page Or, better still, come down to the pool on a Wednesday night.
