The club was established in 1968 and meets every Tuesday at the Meadowside Centre throughout the year. Our
club is one of many branches across the world of the BRITISH SUB AQUA CLUB( BSAC). Use of the pool from
9.00pm / 10.00pm, New members welcome. BSAC training; Ocean Diver, Sport Diver, Dive Leader & Advanced
Diver.

The club provides diving equipment for trainees to use during pool training and for use in open water training at
Stoney Cove.

In it's early days the club met at the swimming baths off the Old Bridge. During 1980 the club finished alterations to
the Co-Op shop in Byrkley Street  to provide a Club House. In November that year, TV Botanist, David Bellamy
officially opened it. Unfortunately, a few years later it had to be demolished to make way for new council offices.

Over the years, the club has helped recover various submerged items, a gold ring from the canal, a large urn from
the River Trent adjacent Stapenhill Cemetery, model boats from Branston Water Park, Two dustbins full of golf
balls from the 18th hole water trap at Branston Golf Club, a accidentally misplaced boat trailer at Formark
Reservoir, helped Burton Mutual Angling Association catch and transport a substantial quantity of large carp. It has
also taken part in the annual raft race at Matlock on Boxing Day and street collections in Burton, both in support of
the RNLI.

We arrange expeditions around our shores each summer. Diving off our own Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RIBS) and
chartered vessels, Diving around the British Coast can be a very rewarding and social event. Members also
arrange SCUBA holidays abroad.

Our Club has an active social event calendar, dining out regularly, fun/fund raising events & occasional diving
related coach excursions. Recently about 20 members enjoyed a night out Go-Karting, we have even built our own
indoor portable Skittle Alley that we use and hire out.

The Club is now starting to encourage snorkelling as an option, We run snorkel only lessons for groups and
individuals. This pool based experience is an excellent way of gaining sufficient confidence to enjoy the underwater
world of shallow reefs on holiday. A one hour evening SCUBA experience can also be arranged.
