Training courses
Dive into Conservation!
Course enquiries
We try to run the courses early in the year so that people have the maximum time to be out and recording, but autumn/winter courses are also arranged.
Additional courses will be added if/when there is sufficient demand. We can also organise courses for clubs and dive centres. To enquire about additional courses, contact info@seasearch.org.uk or your nearest Seasearch coordinator.
How to sign up
You will need to contact the relevant course organiser – see below. It is also worth going on to Facebook and searching for your nearest group. Most regions have a Facebook group and this can be quite a useful way of linking up with people and finding out more information about courses and organised surveys.
Seasearch also has a main Facebook page which you can also join and ask questions on: Seasearch Facebook Group. It is a private group, but if you have an interest in marine life, you won’t be turned away!

If you have any further questions then please feel free to contact the course co-ordinator, or send an email to info@seasearch.org.uk
If you are wondering about that “type of course” means, then head over to the Recording Data page and you can find out more about the different courses. The standard courses are for filling in the Observation Form (first step), then the Survey Form (more advanced). But seasearch also runs some specialist courses for recording other features of interest like Sea Fan Surveys, Crawfish Recording and Sea Cave Surveys. But do remember, all of the courses are about recording marine life and physical habitats, they won’t teach you to dive – that is your responsibility.
