Any current Armed Forces SADS (Sub-Aqua Diving Supervisors) here?

Just been to L'Estartit, diving the Medes Islands and met an Exped out
there. I was told they could be recycling the SADS qual numbers, mine was in
the 150's. I did know number 1. Where do they run the SADS courses now that
Bovi is gorn?

Just interested!

As far as I'm aware, they still use Bovi - although it's closed to the
public, Joint Services still use it.

Yep, we still use Bovi, I qualified last October and the numbers were
still going up (I'm 1306) but it still works out at only a few a year.
Hopefully a commercial venture will buy Bovi and get it up and running
full time again.

Cheers for that!

Have they got a website for SADS or the JS Diving Centre at Bovi? Just
interested to know what has gone on since my departure from the RN in 1992.
Especially with regard to use of computers, mixed gas diving etc.
