V3 Aquatic Club provides a wide range of BSAC Skill Development Courses for divers at varying levels of proficiency. These courses aim to expand the range of activities open to divers, to introduce them to new subjects and to guide them to higher levels of competence in specialist areas.

The Skill Development Courses are grouped into five main categories - Diving, Rescue, Seamanship, Technical and Scientific, and cover the whole spectrum of recreational diving, providing something for every diving interest.

Members who attend a BSAC Skill Development Course, will have their attendance recorded on a database at BSAC HQ, and are sent certification for their Qualification Record Book and in many cases, a cloth badge and presentation certificate. Where BSAC diver training lessons are covered within a Skill Development Course, the Chief Instructor is authorised to sign these lessons in the member's Qualification Record Book.
