Congratulations to the 10 students who travelled from as far a field as Scotland to qualify as Snorkel Instructors at this years Snorkel Instructor Training Course and Assessment hosted by Oxford BSAC.
A special congratulations to Chris Watkins on becoming Oxford BSAC’s newest snorkel instructor.
On Saturday 18th February I joined a very pleasant, interesting bunch of peers for a two day Snorkel Instructor’s Course run by BSAC. For a weekend – it was an early start but everyone was in good spirits in anticipation of what we hoped would be an exciting, informative weekend.
As a diver I was surprised and pleased to see that the majority of my fellow students were also divers who, like me, recognised the importance of good snorkelling skills and how snorkelling can encourage future members to BSAC – both snorkellers and divers.
This is a two day course with both practical and theory sessions.
The practical sessions will take place at Westminster College just outside Oxford and the theory sessions will be held at our clubhouse off the Abingdon Road, Oxford.
The course is open to snorkel divers or equivalent, aged 16 years and over, who are BSAC members.
