Stingray is a branch of the British Sub Aqua club (BSAC). BSAC provide our training scheme and qualify our instructors. BSAC are one of the oldest and most established training agencies (founded in 1953). It is a non-profit organisation, run by divers, for divers.
Teaching is done through a network of over 1500 clubs run by volunteers. Each club member pays an annual subscription that keeps the club running and provides insurance and a monthly magazine, Dive (amongst other things). BSAC is the governing body for scuba in the UK and represents the interests of all divers.
Stingray membership is paid on an annual basis and includes national BSAC membership (Reduced rates are available to full time students, couples and instructors). Membership entitles you to training, use of club equipment and your vote in how the club is run.
Branch Membership is only: £10! (Full Stingray & BSAC Membership: £57.00 - including £47.00 BSAC subscription)
Learn to Dive Course: £250 (including full Branch & BSAC membership, Ocean Diver Course, Dry Suit Training and mask snorkel and fins)

The Ocean Diver course includes Basic Nitrox training! BSAC are the only agency to include
Nitrox training in core diver training.
You must be at least 12years of age to learn to dive with the BSAC.
Stingray Divers will expect a parent or guardian to accompany all under 16's through initial training so that they have a good understanding of SCUBA and can be assured that their child is treated appropriately.
