I have been a member of EUSAC since Sept 2021, and now they can’t get rid of me! My diving experience goes from Scotland to Malta, with many stops in between. Got to admit, diving in Scotland is not what I had in mind when I came up north but it is definitely worth the effort (and cold).

As treasurer, I like to close eye on the spreadsheets. That said, if you have any questions concerning the monetary aspects of EUSAC, feel free to email. I’m sure we can work something out.

'I learned to SCUBA dive with the club just last year, and have been hooked ever since. My favourite thing about diving is how peaceful and serene it is underwater. Hoping to do loads more Scottish diving this year, and hopefully to try my hand at warm water diving. I love a good night out and can't wait to start hosting some socials where I get the change to meet all out new members this year! See you under the seas, or at the pub on a Friday eve!'

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!
