Would you like to go SCUBA diving?

Exeter BSAC

can teach you

Pool Sessions (nb. we dive in the sea all through the winter). Every week we have a pool session in the warm water at the Riverside Leisure Centre. So on a Tuesday evening you can practice skills, check out new equipment, or just have a bit of fun in the pool. Really cheap for club members (£2), but pre-booking is essential – book via Anne, or use the contact us page.

WINTER DIVE TALKS (FREE, even to non-members)

Friday January 23rd at 8pm

Nik and Petra will talk through the BSAC Report on diving accidents (Annual Incident Diving Report). They’ll discuss some accidents that might have been prevented. Every year write up about diving incidents go to BSAC, and it’s great to learn from those reports. If you dive, this could be an hour well spent. Friends, non club dive buddies & family welcome too

Friday February 27^th at 7:30pm.

Dive kit & how to save a dive. Andy L will give loads of helpful hints – setup, maintenance, repairs, tricks, cheats, plus preventing and solving kit problems. Make your gear last longer and have less kit trouble. All divers are welcome (even if you’re not a club member)

Friday 6th March at 8pm

Street SAC are going to talk about their fire, and how it affected them. It’s very kind of them to come over, and there might well be lessons that our club can learn from this (unfortunate) event. Everyone welcome (even if you’re not a club member)

Friday 30th Jan. Dive Planning for the 2026 season ……. 7:00pm in the clubhouse – with pizzas to help us plan!

Calling all Dive Managers, Dive Leaders and trainee Dive Leaders), Diver Coxwains and Boat Handlers – and anyone who would like to have a say in where and what diving we do in the coming year. Come along to a planning evening on Friday 30^th January at 7pm at the clubhouse. The aim of the evening will be to get some dive dates in the diary, with outline plans for interesting and varied sites.

Bring your ideas and help make plans for a fantastic 2026 season with a mix of wrecks and reefs, boat and shore dives and hopefully some club weekends away. The more people that get involved the better😊 We will bring dive site books, charts, tidal stream atlases and tide tables – and pizza to nibble on! Jane Tanasa.

CLUB DIVES. Sunday 1st February, and Sunday 1st March.

Yes – we dive all year round, and our club dives are usually the first Sunday in the month. The sea temp will only be about 8c for the February dive, but you can still get a 40 to 45 minute dive in a 7mm semi-dry suit. If it’s been calm, then underwater viz can be amazing because the sediment settles and there’s no plankton in the water. If you’re certified, and fancy a dive, come and join us. Use the contact us page if you don’t get club e-mails and want an invite. Open to all qualified divers, though if you’ve not dived recently we’ll ask you to do a pool refresher session first.

Use the contact form if you want more information.

Learn to dive with BSAC.

You can have fun while learning, plus get a qualification that’s accepted all over the world. Learning to dive in the UK makes foreign diving so much easier. Learning to dive costs £374, which includes your training, one year of BSAC membership (includes insurance). Use the contact form to find out more.

UK diving can be fantastic, though it can be more challenging than diving abroad. It’s still diving though, and it’s great to see life underwater.

Our club has a National Instructor, 4 Advanced Instructors, and numerous Open Water Instructors. We’ve even got an Instructor for those with disabilities, so why not give diving a go 🙂

Fridays at 8pm in our clubhouse

Come and have a chat and drink in our licensed bar on a Friday evening (8pm). Don’t worry if you’re a complete novice, not dived for years, or just curious to know more about diving.

If you can swim, then come and talk to us. The underwater world can be amazing!
