BSAC Advanced Ocean Diver Course
If you're already a Qualified BSAC Ocean Diver (or other agency equivalent) and you would like to extend your diving range progressively, then the Advanced Ocean Diver course is for you!
Advanced Ocean Diver sits between Ocean Diver and Sports Diver and is open to qualified BSAC Ocean Divers (or an equivalent other agency grade) who would like to progress their maximum diving depth to 30m. You will develop your existing Ocean Diver knowledge to support deeper diving.
To enrol on the Advanced Ocean Diver, you must have successfully completed the BSAC Ocean Diver course. It is also open to those who have an equivalent certification from another recognised diver training agency and have completed Nitrox training. You must also be aged 14 or over to be able to progress to depths up to 30m.
Current BSAC Sports Diver trainees who have completed the necessary skills and theory modules and are aged 14 or over can also apply for their Advanced Ocean Diver qualification to dive to 30m.

Advanced Ocean Diver is not a mandatory course, but it can be a thoroughly enjoyable next step on your diving adventure. Advanced Ocean Diver means you can safely progress your maximum diving depth, post-Ocean Diver, and can also be used to build your skills and experience as you work your way to Sports Diver.
After completing Advanced Ocean Diver, you could also:
Our Advanced Ocean Diver course is continually assessed. So, after your classroom and in-water training and a short theory exam, you’ll have the grounding to continue your scuba diving journey onwards towards your BSAC Sports Diver qualification
You also have two options with your theory, you can do the traditional book and instructor led theory session or take the new eLearning online route and complete everything at a time to suit you when you like via BSACs online learning portal.
What you’ll be qualified to do as a BSAC Advanced Ocean Diver
As an Advanced Ocean Diver, you will be qualified to dive with another Advanced Ocean Diver to a maximum depth of 30m, accompanied by a Sports Diver or above. Your dives to 30m must be no-decompression dives in conditions you have already encountered during your training. You will still be able to buddy with an Ocean Diver on dives to a maximum depth of 20m.
Your new Advanced Ocean Diver qualification will be internationally recognised, enabling you to enjoy your diving to 30m anywhere in the world!
What diving experiences will this open up for me?
As the next step in your diving journey, qualifying as an Advanced Ocean Diver means you will be able to safely expand your diving to enjoy many of the 30m maximum depth dive sites, both in the UK and overseas. Use of Nitrox 36% will help make your diving safer and more enjoyable and add to your progressive diving experience.
Advanced Ocean Diver is also an excellent way to build up your skills and experience as you work towards Sports Diver and can enable you to participate in more of your BSAC club’s diving trips and activities.
After completing Advanced Ocean Diver, you could also:
- Continue to progress towards Sports Diver which will develop your skills and diving depth to 35m with decompression.
- Not yet dived in UK waters but want to try? Then our PADI Dry suit Course is perfect for you!
- Start exploring and expanding your specific diving interests with one of BSAC’s Skill Development Courses (SDCs). From boat handling, wreck appreciation and first aid, there’s a host of SDCs you can now enjoy.
