Membership – Joining Burnley SAC

Burnley Sub Aqua Club is a branch of The British Sub Aqua Club, we are a (not for profit) diving club.  We can train you to dive (our qualifications are internationally recognised) or if you are already qualified you can join and come on our trips and use our facilities and develop your diving further if you wish. Members get access to our boats, training, club trips, social activities and much much more.

If you are interested in joining our branch you will find all the information you need below.

 

 


Costs

Membership is £140 which includes your membership to BSAC (providing third party insurance and a monthly magazine) and membership of our branch

If you wish to learn to dive then there is an additional charge of £100 to cover the costs of your Ocean Diver training pack, pool equipment.

Payment can be made monthly via direct debit which will spread these costs over 12 months and means you can pay as little as £?? per month for your full branch membership.

One of the key things you will need to do is complete a Self Assessment Medical Form.  If you answered a “Yes” to any of the medical questions you will need to get a “fit to dive” check done by a diving doctor.  We can advise on that if needed and provide contact details for suitable doctors to approach.  If you are able to answer “No” to all the questions then you can sign the form and you are self-certified and good to go.

You will be issued with a training pack, this contains all the study materials and your qualification record book in which you can track your training.

The pack also contains the pre-paid application for your certification card which is completed by us once you finish your training.  There is then nothing further to pay when you send off for your qualification card.

**  Please note: Members who pay by Direct Debit receive a £10.00 discount on their first annual payment of the BSAC Fees.
