Guide For Enrolment of BSAC Divers into a PADI Course
This guide can be used by PADI Instructors wishing to establish where a diver holding a current BSAC certification would begin training within the PADI System of Diver Education. It represents the highest level course that each diver could enrol in. At the PADI Instructor’s discretion, based upon their pre-assessment of the diver, they may decide to begin training at lower levels within the PADI System.
It should be noted that the final decision to allow the use of a certification from other recreational training organisations as prerequisites for further training within PADI, is at the discretion of the individual PADI Instructor.
Please note that all other course prerequisites must be met prior to the start of training.
