Children younger than 12 can join our snorkelling section. See the snorkelling page for full details.
What do I need?
Swimming costume, a t-shirt and a towel are all you need to start, but you may wish to buy your own mask and fins. We will provide all your training kit while you train to Ocean Diver. When you qualify we encourage you to buy your own kit to suit your personal needs.
Can I dive abroad?
Yes. BSAC qualifications are accepted and recognised around the world for their high standards.
Do I need to be a good swimmer?
No, but as with all water sports it helps to be comfortable in the water. Your equipment is designed to provide buoyancy while on the surface and your training will teach you how to make the most of it while diving.
Where do you dive?
The club regularly dives at sites all over the uk and abroad. Last year our UK trips included Anglesey, Loch Fyne, The Isles of Scilly, Mull, The Farne Isles, Scapa Flow.
