Scuba diving is an incredible way to connect with the underwater world, explore hidden marine landscapes, and make lifelong friends. And the best way to begin that journey? Joining a BSAC club.
To help you take that first step, we’ve created a new BSAC Club Finder tool (Google Map) so you can easily locate the BSAC clubs nearest to you, making getting started easier than ever.
🌊 What makes BSAC clubs special
The British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) is the UK’s biggest and longest-established scuba diving club community, with hundreds of clubs and training centres across the UK and around the world. Whether you’re brand new to diving or already qualified, joining a local BSAC club opens up a world of opportunities to dive, train, and make new friends.
🤝 Why your local community matters
Diving is more than a sport - it’s a lifestyle and a community. BSAC clubs bring people together who share a love of the sea. From weekly pool sessions and regular socials to weekend dives and holidays, clubs are vibrant hubs of activity and support. You’ll meet people at every stage of their diving journey and make connections that go well beyond the water.
📚 World-class training and progression
One of the biggest benefits of diving with a BSAC club is access to comprehensive, internationally-recognised training - from beginner courses right through to advanced skills and leadership qualifications. The BSAC training system is respected worldwide, focusing on building confident and safe divers. And it’s more affordable, too.
If you’ve already learned to dive with another agency like PADI or SSI, you’re still welcome - BSAC clubs will recognise your qualifications and help you continue your training at your pace.
📍 Dive locally – then regionally, nationally… globally!
BSAC clubs aren’t just about learning — they’re about doing. Clubs organise dives all over the UK and beyond, from dramatic wrecks and vibrant marine life on the UK’s coasts to unforgettable overseas trips. With a local club, regular diving becomes accessible and affordable, with experienced divers and instructors to guide you.
