Training
Grampian Branch welcomes new divers as well as "cross-over" divers certified by other agencies (e.g. BSAC, PADI, SAA). Please use the links below that match your experience
Cross-over: Divers qualified by other organisations can have their qualification converted to a SSAC equivalent on joining our club and following a crossover schedule. We welcome trained divers and we will take into account your level of qualification and your experience. If you are dry suit trained you can join us directly in the ocean. if you are a holiday e.g. PADI diver, you'll probably need to do a few dry suit sessions in the pool and learn rescue skills. Please check out ScotSAC crossover tables here, and then contact us giving details of your previous experience/certification
More information on learning to dive with the SCOTSAC training schedules is available here.
Membership and equipment
The great advantage of learning to dive in a club environment is that, in addition to a wealth of knowledge and experience, you have access to a large selection of club dive kit so you can gradually and economically invest in your own while actively diving with club kit. The links here take you to further info on kit/costs and membership, but if you are new to diving, come to a try-a-dive session or a pool session and we can explain all the essentials.
