Access keys

Access keys are a navigation device which allow you to jump to different sections of the LSAC website with ease. Available access keys are:

• h - Home
• a - About LSAC
• d - Diving
• j - Joining
• f - FreeFlow
• s - Sitemap
• 1 to 9 - Submenu link of the current section
• y - Accessibility
• t - Terms and Conditions
• p - Privacy Policy
• c - Contact Us

For example if you wanted to go to "About LSAC" > "Rogues Gallery" you would need to use access keys A and then 4 (as the gallery is the 4th option of the about LSAC menu).
