👏 Well done to all who took part in BSAC Yorkshire Region's first Snorkel Instructor Training Course Assessment (SITCA).
🤿 Even for seasoned divers, snorkelling is a great way to put the heavy kit down and enjoy moving more freely in the water.

👌 Pool training and skills refreshers are a great way to keep the fins wet when the weather isn't so good.
🤿 Most divers have a particular skill or two that they're not a fan of - and practicing is often the only way to get more comfortable with it.

One of the best things about diving and snorkelling is the sense of calm the underwater world brings - and the incredible support we find in our community. 💙
This #WorldMentalHealthDay reminds us how important it is to keep checking in with our friends, our club, our dive buddies, and ourselves.

Well done to Swindon Sub Aqua Club who ran a try dive session for Sophie and her sister Holly this weekend. Sophie has Cerebral Palsy and has always wanted to give scuba diving a go. The club's instructors, trained on BSAC's #DivingForAll programme, were able to run a session just for them. 🙌
