What sort of club would we be if we didn't host a cracking Burns Night? A poor excuse for one in Scotland anyway. This  is 'the' night of the year so make sure you don't miss out!

The night consists of a hearty, traditional meal of Haggis, Neeps (Turnips for you non-Scots), and Tatties (Potatoes). If you have never tried Haggis before, it's great. Trust me, you will be craving it after you try it.
After the meal there are speeches from club member's about the year's hijinks so far as well as a raffle- there's usually a fantastic mix of diving gear and vouchers/experiences on offer!

Of course, no Burns night is complete without a Ceilidh. We hire in a live folk band and dance until our feet fall off. Whether you have never tried Scottish dancing before or you are born and bred Highlander, it is a fantastic experience. Don't worry, it is quite easy to learn what to do and it isn't meant to be taken too seriously anyway! Come along and have a bash.

After the music finally fades and the band packs up we continue our night with an after-party at somebody's flat until the wee hours of the morning and then, the next day, cure our hangovers with a nice tasty breakfast.

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

​The 2018/19 academic year had the added bonus of coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the club, so Burns Night 2019 was bigger and better than ever!

Hosted at the Balmoral Hotel (swanky!) nearly 100 EUSAC members past and present came together to enjoy the classic night of haggis, ceilidh, and sharing diving stories old and new.

Hope to see plenty of folks in 2020!

​Here's to 50 more years!

The Club

Edinburgh University Sub-Aqua Club is branch 0407 of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC). We are a student club officially recognised by Edinburgh University Sports Union. The club is made up of a wide range of people from all degree subjects, members of staff, and students from other Edinburgh universities too. We go diving all year round so if you have the itch for diving you won't be disappointed.

We are well equipped with a selection of kit for hire at low rates, club boats that you can learn to pilot, a pool of instructors, and strong support from Alumni members. If there's anything you want to do in your recreational diving career, chances are you can do it with us!

Are you a beginner with no diving experience whatsoever? Not a problem! Want to further your training? We've got you covered! Got thousands of dives under your belt? We can take you further!

We welcome divers from a wide range of other organisations such as PADI, NAUI, SSI, CMAS, and more. You can cross straight over to BSAC with no extra costs: simply join up and come diving.

If you're already an instructor with another organisation you can still instruct with us. BSAC offer a Instructor Crossover process that is easy to complete.

If you would like to meet us catch us at the Fresher's fair, check out the pub nights, or send one of the committee a message!
