Our BSAC training programme ensures that all qualifications gained through the club are internationally recognised. We are virtually self-reliant in the training, diving and skills development which we can offer via our club facilities; a Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB), a compressor for free air and nitrox cylinder filling and, for those qualified to use it, trimix filling too — plus a wide array of scuba equipment available for loan to members.
Free training
Potteries Divers offers training to members free of charge with the exception of:
- The purchase of written training materials
- After initial free training in the swimming pool, the entry fee to training quarries
- The costs of personal needs such as travel, meals and, just occasionally, accommodation
