| About Us | ||||||||||||
Sheffield University Sub-Aqua Club was founded in the early 70's and became a branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club in 1975. We are a very active club within the university, and have a membership of around 70. The club offers internationally recognised BSAC qualifications from entry level through to instructor standards, all taught by Nationally qualified instructors who are SUSAC members. We can take on up to 24 novices each year, and are always over-subscribed, so get in quick if you want to learn to dive! The club also welcomes lots of qualified divers each year, both from BSAC and other organisations. Lots of students learn to dive on holiday or in their year out and then join SUSAC so they can carry on diving in the UK and meet other divers - we have a great social scene and arguably more drinking is done than diving! The club owns nearly 20 sets of diving equipment - cylinders, Apeks regulators, Buddy BCD's and weights and weightbelts. All are regularly maintained, and lots of it is shiny and new this year! Kit is provided free for training, and is rented at a very reasonable rate for members to use on trips. SUSAC also has two club boats - the Viper and the Humber. These enable us to dive some of the less-visited offshore dive sites, and mean we can dive where we want, when we want! The Whitby trip in November gives everyone a chance to take them for a spin and try some capsize drills, and the club organises boat handling courses for anyone who wants to learn how to drive them properly! We run regular dive trips throughout year to all corners of the UK - everything from a simple day trip, to week-long expedition type trips. This is a huge amount of fun, whether you just come along for the diving, or want to get involved in the planning and organisation. The more you put into the club, the more you get out, so come along, join up and start enjoying some exciting diving with the most friendly and active club at the University! |
