The Club owns two RIBs (with electronics and full safety equipment), and several full sets of SCUBA equipment for use by trainees.

Most of our diving is on the south coast, typically between Bognor Regis and Lyme Regis. We occasionally go further afield (Cornwall, Scotland, Red Sea and more...) for longer breaks. We run fairly frequent tropical holidays, and are quite active in the local community.

New joiners can usually start training immediately. The basic SAA fitness test is rarely any difficulty, but there is a medical certification requirement too. Training can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the student. From there, we work hard to try and keep ongoing diving costs down for members.

If you are already a qualified diver, you can start diving with us as soon as we have checked your qualifications and done an assessment dive. You will be able to dive at levels appropriate to the equivalent SAA standard as defined in a recognised crossover table.
