Welcoming the new additions to the Regional Team, Coaches Coordinator Phil Alberts said he looked forward to working with them to support BSAC clubs and diver training.
“The Regional Scheme continually strives to listen to and provide direct support and advice to all our clubs and members and this works due to the commitment of over regional coaching team volunteers.
“I’m delighted to welcome our three new coaches to the team and I’d also like to thank our outgoing coaches Phil, Paul and Martin for all their hard work and dedication over the years.”

The Regional Coaching scheme has been designed to directly support BSAC clubs and members and keep BSAC clubs up-to-date on BSAC developments.
Divided into UK and Overseas regions, the scheme provides training and diving advice as well as guidance on club management. It also offers a range of regional training opportunities that may not be available through all BSAC clubs.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
