If you are a beginner ...

The British Sub Aqua Club enjoys an enviable reputation around the world for the standard to which its members are trained. If you would like to learn to dive, the club system differs from many commercial operations as we are a non-profit organisation and can afford the time to let each individual progress through training at their own pace.

We normally run 2 full "Ocean Diver" courses each year, enabling you to learn and become competent at skills in an indoor pool before you discover the thrill of diving in open water.

The BSAC qualification is recognised internationally.

If you are already a certified diver ...

BSAC recognises most international qualifications and there is no need for any “crossover” program. You will simply be awarded the equivalent level of qualification to that which you hold with PADI, for example.

The benefits to a certified diver are regular, affordable diving amongst like-minded people who enjoy working as a team and who appreciate the opportunity to choose what sort of diving they would like to do.

South coast wrecks are a big part of our diving year and project days are arranged to locate wrecks new to the club and to ascertain their suitability for club divers. We have also mapped areas of scenic interest on our project days, again with the aim of being able to offer new and varied dive sites to our members.
