BSAC’s Chartwork and Position Fixing course is a hands-on course designed for anyone wanting to learn and practise the navigation skills needed to plan more adventurous diving and put diving projects with a purpose into action within a club or centre.
This course has really enhanced my diving as I can now actively prepare and plan club dive trips. It’s also rewarding to use my skills to seek out potential dive sites and work on more adventurous diving expeditions.
- Nick Toyas, Clidive
The Chartwork and Position Fixing course is open to anyone and it’s a great way to get non-divers involved in the club, especially if they have family members who dive, as the course covers dive-trip planning and practical surface-navigation skills. No diving qualification is necessary to take part.
After completing the Chartwork and Position Fixing course you will have the skills and confidence to help organise more adventurous diving for your club or centre.
You could further your seamanship training by doing other Skill Development Courses (SDCs), including Boat Handling and Outboard Engine and Boat Maintenance.
Or you could develop specific skills to expand your interests further, whether you are a diving member or non-diving member. Imagine being qualified in diver first aid or becoming a compressor operator or mixed gas blender. Check out the SDCs you can get involved in.
If you are not already a diver, how about learning to dive on an Ocean Diver course. If you are already a diver you could progress your diver grade training.
