MEMBERSHIP FEES

Whichever Branch you chose to join, you pay an annual membership fee to BS-AC and the appropriate annual fee to the Branch. For new, unqualified divers there is a one-off fee to cover the hire of equipment during your Novice training when you first join our Branch (after this, there are no more training fees to pay within this Branch). 

The total cost for a new Brighton BS-AC member requiring full training is £257.50 (see below for breakdown), but these are currently under review - in line with new BSAC training schedules.

Trained divers from other organisations can transfer to equivalent BS-AC grades. Speak to our Diving Officer for details and any cost involved. Click on this link to check equivalents: Grades.
