Open to anyone aged over 16 who has completed a BSAC Boat Handling Course or RYA Level 2 and has since logged a minimum of five hours boat-handling, or can demonstrate 20 hours or more of previous boat-handling experience.
We would require a written confirmation from the Diving Officer of the 20 hours Boat Handling experience.
In the Diver Coxswain assessment you will be orally tested on your theory knowledge of boat safety equipment, what to do in an emergency, knots and rules of the road.
You will be practically assessed on your skills covering:
Voyage planning
Boat preparation and safety
Boat handling and manoeuvres
Anchoring
Dropping and recovering a shot line
Coming alongside
Approaching a shelving shore
Safe drop off and recovery of divers
Emergency actions including man overboard
Boat Handling is a great way to get non-divers involved in the club, especially if they have family members that dive. No diving qualification is necessary to take part.
On completion you can apply for the ICC International Certificate for Operators of Pleasures Craft available via BSAC HQ.
Cost £170.00 + £12.50 (Assessment Pack)
Plus you need to purchase your BSAC Diver
Assessment Pack from the BSAC Shop.
