Training facilities for SCUBA diving are diminishing rapidly across the UK and diving pits are replaced with shallow "leisure pools" with flumes.

The SCUBA training offered by the BSAC is the best in the world. In order to remain so, it needs the support of pool facilities with appropriate depths of water to ensure we can teach our UK divers the proper skills that keep them safe
