Training and Courses

Learning to dive with the British Sub-Aqua Club and The Three Seas Diving Group is both fun and easy.The Three Seas Diving Group offers safe, quality instruction by Nationally Qualified Instructors in small groups.Training is available from the entry level Ocean Diver course up to Advanced Diver.If you are not sure whether diving is for you then why not come along for a try-dive session.These are held on a Friday evening and after a short briefing you will get to try out scuba equipment in the pool.All pool training takes place at the Dolphin Centre, Darlington where we have access to both the swimming pool and the deeper diving pool.We are also able to teach a number of skill development courses in house such as Boat Handling, First Aid and Lifesaver.

As a club we offer training courses that teach people to scuba dive in a safe environment.All training is provided by qualified instructors who strive to maintain a high standard of instruction and performance.
