Six Island divers have successfully achieved BSAC certification during the past few weeks.
Wight Dolphins British Sub Aqua Club welcomes divers of all abilities, from those who are brand new to the sport to those with previous qualifications, regardless of where the qualifications have come from.
The club has its own fully approved BSAC diving instructors, who volunteer their own time to provide training for students at all levels and is headed by the club Training Officer, Gary McGinty.
Tony Delap, Kev Newell and Jan Fletcher are all now fully signed up Sports Divers but they have each come to Wight Dolphins with different skill levels and varying qualifications.
The entry level open water BSAC qualification is the Ocean Diver course which equips students with core diving skills and gives them the opportunity to complete dives from the shore and from the club's own boat, enabling diving to a depth of 20 metres in the UK and abroad.
The next step up is the Sports Diver, giving the opportunity to perform longer, deeper dives with decompression stops, as well as learning rescue skills and building experience in a range of conditions. The Sports Diver can dive to a maximum of 40 metres.
Meanwhile, Ezra Grimaldi, Maisie Sims and Masato Hagiya have each attained their initial diving qualification, and are now Ocean Divers.
If you are interested in taking up diving or developing your skills, get in touch with Wight Dolphins through the official website.
The club has two planned dates for try dive sessions at Freshwater Pool over the winter, on 2 November and 7 December
