Boat Handling
Advertisement
The Boat Handling course is open to anyone aged over 14 and itβs a great way to get non-divers involved in the club, especially if they have family members who dive. No diving qualification is necessary to take part.
Time and exact location details will be shared with attendees ahead of the event.
Itβs a practical boat-based course that gives each student plenty of time at the helm of a small dive boat to practise their skills, including how to drop and recover divers safely. Some boat insurers require any person driving a boat to have an approved boat-handling qualification.
You will be out and about in boats on both days of this two-day course, which includes a mix of four theory, two dry practical and three open-water practical sessions aboard a RIB. You will learn about the responsibilities of owning, towing and driving a boat, and how to launch and recover it.
Practical skills include high-speed driving, slow-speed manoeuvring, anchoring and coming alongside. You will develop your overall seamanship skills, including voyage planning, essential rules of the road and learn the actions to take in an emergency.
