OPTION 1
If your a qualified diver you can join ESAC, be recognised at a similar BSAC grade and NOT continue your training with the BSAC:
After joining ESAC, present your evidence of the qualifications already held in the form of original and authenticated certificates, training records in other agency logbooks, etc. If a translation of a foreign certificate is necessary, it is your responsibility of the to provide it.
We will recognise the alternative diver qualification (see crossover table).
You will then be integrated into the Branch and treated as a diver of the appropriate similar grade. You can apply for an optional ' Equivalency Card' from BSAC HQ.
There is no need for any other documentation to be issued, i.e., Qualification Record Book, training material etc. to the you.
You will be expected to attend a brief Induction to the BSAC' lesson based on parts of the BSAC Ocean Diver training programme – OT1 and OT4, which will:
* Describe how the Branch structure works
* Outline the aims, beliefs and function of the BSAC as the governing body.
* Outline what BSAC membership offers.
* Provide an overview of the BSAC '88 Decompression Tables.
The Diving Officer or Training Officer may also encourage further theory study and skills practice to ' close any gaps' which might become apparent on review of qualifications and experience.
