What is BEGS?
BSAC EXPEDITIONS GRANT SCHEME (BEGS), BSAC offers expedition grants of up to £1000 each.
The grants are available every year to groups of BSAC divers to promote adventurous diving. The expedition should have a purpose, such as research (e.g. finding new sites) or improvement of the expertise of a group of divers. All subsidised divers must be BSAC members and all diving should follow BSAC guidelines.
Objectives of the BSAC expedition grant scheme:

Objectives of the BSAC expedition grant scheme:
- To promote experience of BSAC members in safe and challenging expeditionary environments.
- To promote personal improvement in diving experience/skill levels by groups of individuals who have the potential to cascade that experience to other members.
- To promote improvement of a group of divers to aspire to a higher level of achievement by exposure to leadership of a First Class Diver in an appropriately challenging expeditionary environment.
- To promote inter-branch expeditionary diving and to ensure that cascade of experience occurs as broadly as possible.
- To promote expeditions that are not just another "subsidised holiday".
