here's the flyer - Nothing to do in Bermuda?

The schedule is as follows:
We will conduct the lectures on Mondays and Wednesdays for the first 2 weeks.
We will conduct all the sheltered water sessions on Saturday 14 July and Sunday 15 July. This will
compress this part of the training; make it easier on the instructors and students, and lessen the need for
carrying all of our equipment up and down repeatedly to the cove. When we get to the Open Water part I
will be asking instructors to arrange training with assigned trainees.

LEARN TO DIVE IN BERMUDA
Bermuda Sub Aqua Club will be offering an Ocean Diver SCUBA Certification Course
beginning on 9 th July 2012.
The cost is $475.00, and includes:
- Scuba kit for use over course duration (Buoyancy Compensator, Regulator, Tanks –
subject to security deposit $150 refundable on return)
- All written training material, log book, etc.
- Ocean Diver level certification on completion
- Annual Membership to BSAC Bermuda, include fee air refills, Wednesday nights at the
club - bar with meals available, and access to all club events (normally $265 per year)
- Monthly DIVE magazine
- Third party liability insurance on BSAC club dives through BSAC Home Office
The course will take about 8 - 10 weeks dependant on student progress. Theory lessons
will run weekly on Mondays and Wednesday evenings at the clubhouse in Admiralty
House park (for directions see www.bsac.bm). In-water training will take place at
weekends on approx. 8 partial-days, to be scheduled with instructor.
Students to purchase for use during the course:
- Mask (tempered glass for scuba, check that it fits properly)
- Snorkel
- Fins (boot type with wetsuit booties recommended for shore dives)
- Weightbelt
- Lead weights (10 to 20 pounds. Best to buy 12lbs initially and additional as you
determine how much you need. Club has limited amount of weights to use during
confined water sessions to determine correct weighting)
- Wetsuit – optional this time of year. 3mm “shortie” is the cheapest but a full 3mm (or
thicker) or farmer john will prove to be a good investment.
Tips:
- Check the training schedule (or sample schedule from previous class) to see if you
can realistically commit the time. It is possible to make up some missed lessons but
not large chunks of the course.
- You should be able to swim and be reasonably confident in the water (recommended
that you should have tried snorkeling at least once and enjoyed it).
- The first evening of the course will include a basic swimming test (bring swimming
trunks/swimsuit and towel. No wetsuit, mask or fins allowed for this).
- Purchase the listed kit prior to first in-water training which will be on Sat 14 th July. If
in doubt wait until after the first Wednesday night in order to ask questions.
- As a minimum try on your mask and fins in water prior to the first in-water training.
There is only limited time during the course to adjust for a good fit.
- You need to have paid your membership and completed the medical form before the
first in-water training. If you cannot answer ‘no’ to all the questions you will need to
see a doctor who can perform diving medicals.
- Please be on time for all training, remember the instructors are all unpaid volunteers.
