Have fun, build confidence and expand your diving opportunities by enrolling on a BSAC Diver Coxswain Assessment .
We are running a BSAC Diver Coxswain Preparation Workshop and Assessment at our Weymouth Training Centre and at Portland Marina on 10th & 11th January… (other dates available check out website https://jurassicaquasports.co.uk/bsac-courses)
Open to anyone aged over 16 who has completed a Boat Handling course and has since logged a minimum of five hours boat-handling, or can demonstrate 20 hours or more of previous boat-handling experience.
In the Diver Coxswain assessment you will be orally tested on your theory knowledge of boat safety equipment, what to do in an emergency, knots and rules of the road.
You will be practically assessed on your skills covering:
* Voyage planning
* Boat preparation and safety
* Boat handling and manoeuvres
* Anchoring
* Dropping and recovering a shot line
* Coming alongside
* Approaching a shelving shore
* Safe drop off and recovery of divers
* Emergency actions including man overboard
Boat Handling is a great way to get non-divers involved in the club, especially if they have family members that dive. No diving qualification is necessary to take part.
On completion you can apply for the ICC International Certificate for Operators of Pleasures Craft available via BSAC HQ.
Cost for DIver Coxswain Preparation Workshop £180 & £170 for the Assessment on the following day.
