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 6th March at 8pm
Our Fire! Street SAC are going to talk about their fire, and how it affected them. It’s very kind of them to come over, for there could be lessons to learn from this (unfortunate) event. Everyone welcome (even if you’re not a club member)
Friday 27th March at 8pm
Video evening of dive dramas! As a follow up to their recent talk, Nik and Petra will show videos of dives that ‘went wrong’. Lots of silly, and not so silly things we can learn from. The videos show some obvious problems, and Nik and Petra will help us work out how to avoid them. Everyone welcome (even if you’re not a club member)
Sunday 29th March. A morning of rescue skills and diving fun (with some seriousness involved)
Jane, David W and Andy L are organising a morning of practicing skills. These will be (shore entry) rescue skills, plus boat practice. Some people need practice getting in and out of a RIB, plus also boat handlers can practice manoeuvring around, and up to marker buoys.
We’re aiming for this to be a full on practice morning, under instructor supervision. It’s the start of a new diving season, so people will be rusty. A morning of (FREE) training just has to be worth doing. All club members should have had an e-mail about this.
CLUB DIVES. Sunday 1st March and Sunday 5th April (Easter Sunday)
Yes – (weather permitting) we dive all year round, and our club dives are usually the first Sunday in the month. This year has been affected badly by the weather, so we have to ensure conditions are safe for the dive to go ahead. The sea temp will be around 8c for the March 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!
