BSAC You have an individual membership number, so while you do get a card for most qualifications they are all linked to a "common" number (with exception of some instructor qualifications). E-cards via app - Free (essentially I log in as me, and it gives a list of all my qualifications they...

The air ambulances in the UK are outstanding. I have twice been directly involved in (non-diving) incidents the NW Air Ambulance have come out to (1st as a patient, 2nd as the first civilian at an incident). The skill at where they were able to land still amazes me to this day. RNLI and the...

We received quite a few on the last training packs promo so just not had the need to buy new ones yet rather than actively holding stocks.

I must admit I haven't seen the insides of the new redesigned Ocean Diver training packs yet (my club had a large supply of the old ones and they are valid till 2019 so we haven't bought any new ones yet this year) but the small binder in the previous packs would be your Qualification Record...

Tend to deploy a single DSMB per pair on leaving the bottom unless we have a reason not to. We do a lot of diving from RIBs so a diver getting to the surface in any sort of swell can be a PITA to spot, add in any sort of current moving them off the site and finding divers could really be a...

The visual aids (powerpoint presentations) available to all BSAC instructors that meet the teaching criteria via the BSAC website. Looks like they are putting the new stickers on the instructor's manual at the moment.

To a degree, its mostly just self policing I think. As UK divers tend to be grouped into clubs or unofficial groups there tends to be someone either in an official capacity (Diving Officers etc) or unofficial (the person making the booking for the group) who would generally stop people doing...

That would be an ill informed club/club member, sadly it happens. I would encourage you to maybe try another local club if there are any. PADI Rescue Diver is considered equivalent as a BSAC Sports Diver. If you just wished to dive with a BSAC club you could continue with your existing...
