Barnsley BSAC Divers

Our very own Jaene has just qualified for Sports Diver!!! Huge congratulations goes out to her! Well done!

A little message from her on this amazing journey:

"Qualifying as a BSAC Sports Diver: A Massive Milestone for Me
If you had told me when I started my snorkelling journey with Barnsley BSAC Divers that I would eventually qualify as a BSAC Sports Diver, I never would have believed you. It has been an incredible and challenging road, filled with moments where I truly doubted I would see it through. However, what started as a seemingly impossible goal became a reality during a recent expedition to the beautiful Isle of Tiree. While joining the fantastic crew from Dearne Valley Divers on a thrilling tope shark trip, I successfully completed my final open-water assessments to qualify as a Sports Diver.
Although Dearne Valley isn’t my home club, their warmth, encouragement, and camaraderie were instrumental in helping me cross the finish line. This qualification is a deeply personal victory, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone from both Barnsley and Dearne Valley who supported me along the way. Special mention, however, must go to Pam Tarn and Sammy Norton for their endless patience, guidance, and motivation throughout the week. I can't wait to bring my new skills back home to help and support others, and I am already looking forward to the next adventure!"

Weekly training at Barnsley BSAC. If you have ever wanted to dive or give it a try your always welcome! Just reach out.

Barnsley BSAC weekend trip update from Donna:

"It was another weekend for Barnsley Scuba Divers. This time we headed to Seahouses on the Northumberland coast during another heatwave in Barnsley.

While we couldn’t dive in the wild North Seas of the Farne Islands, we didn’t feel disappointed. Instead we decided to relax and enjoy the weekend.

In the end, the trip was all about finding comfortable and easy places to stay, enjoying excellent food with our scuba friends and taking a scenic walk along the beach to Bamburgh Castle. We also had a chance to explore Holy Island and soak up some culture.

It taught me that some of the best travel experiences come from taking things at a slower pace and in such a beautiful landscape as Northumberland. It was still a rewarding experience discovering new places.

Thank you so much to David, Ann and Ezra for putting together this trip. And a special thank you to everyone who came along!"
