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.
Bringing all the training materials up-to-date, with new training packs, Instructor Manual and resources, the BSAC Snorkel Training Programme will enable even more of our clubs to provide snorkel training and bring more young people and families into BSAC.
To cover the cost of fuel and any maintenance overheads, the cost of snorkeling in open water from Naiad are as follows:
£5 per person for each open water snorkel dive from Naiad.
£5 per person for each shore based snorkel dive where Naiad is used as safety cover.
Shore based snorkel dives with shore cover are free.
All cost are to be paid to the Snorkel Dive Leader at the end of the event.
Costs are reviewed on an annual basis.
Congratulations to Mike Green, Jenny Milne and Lisa Milne who have all passed their basic snorkel diver course.

Trip Report: Oxford BSAC snorkeling joined together with Dorking Snorkeling Club for a day on Pagham beach on 26th June 2011.
During April, Oxford BSAC, held a try dive and try snorkel day at Hinksey swimming pool in Oxford.
With over 100 free try dives and try snorkels taking place throughout the day, the club quickly realised how in need of new equipment they were.
Upon hearing this, a local business (who wished to remain anonymous) came to the rescue and donated £400 of snorkelling kits to the club.
Throughout the year Oxford BSAC has a number of Try-snorkel nights, inviting local community groups to come and have a go at snorkelling. Some of these evenings attract up to 18 snorkellers in the pool at the same time so donations like these are gratefully received.
Our next snorkelling trip is to Pagham, West Sussex on Sunday 26th June 2011.
Places are limited and must be booked.
