What we offer

Training

We offer diver training at various levels from beginner to advanced. We usually conduct diver training over a number of weeks at weekly training sessions. Training is conducted by qualified instructors and all necessary equipment is supplied.

Pool

We have the exclusive use of the pool at the John Carroll Leisure Centre every Wednesday. This is used for training and also just for a bit of a swim if you fancy it. Once a month we also have the use of the deep pool at Beechdale Baths (while there still is a Beechdale Baths!).

The Octagon II

This is our 5.5 metre RIB with twin 55hp outboard engines. The club doesn't currently charge for its use by members, you just pay for your fuel. The boat is equipped with Eagle combined GPS and Sonar. We have several members who have passed the BSAC boat handling course, if you want to go out on her. Our usual venues are Bridlington, Farne Islands, and St. Abbs, but that doesn't stop it going elsewhere.

Trips

The club arranges a number of weekend trips each year to such far-flung destinations as Farne Islands, St Abbs, Weymouth... In addition we tend to arrange a longer holiday. These have recently included a liveaboard in Ireland and a week in the Scillies. In addition there may be ad-hoc trips to Bridlington and there's usually a trip to Stone Cove about once a month.

Social Scene

After the weekly pool session, we meet at the Pheasant for a drink or three and a debrief for the trainees.

We also arange other social events which recentlty have included bowling nights and a treasure hunt.
