Governing body. Eastcote Sub Aqua Diving Club, located in Ruislip, is a small and friendly club that welcomes divers of all levels, from beginners to experienced. The club is affiliated with the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) and is based at Highgrove Pool in Eastcote.
The club offers a range of training opportunities for those looking to learn how to dive or further their qualifications. From classroom sessions to pool training and open water dives, members have the opportunity to improve their skills and gain valuable experience. In addition to diving training, the club also offers associated courses such as first aid for divers and boat handling.
The club is passionate about marine conservation and supports various conservation projects. Many members of the club volunteer their time to contribute to the preservation of marine life and the protection of our seas. As divers, they are dedicated to ensuring that our oceans remain rich and teeming with life.
While diving is the main focus of the club, they also prioritise building a sense of community and camaraderie among members. The club organises a variety of social events throughout the year, catering to the interests of both divers and non-divers. These events range from picnics to clay pigeon shooting and are designed with families and non-diving members in mind.
For those interested in trying out SCUBA diving, Eastcote Sub Aqua Club offers Try Dive experiences. These sessions are led by qualified instructors who will guide participants through the basics of using SCUBA diving equipment. Participants will have the opportunity to experience the feeling of breathing underwater and explore the weightless environment of the pool. All equipment is provided, and participants only need to bring swimwear and a towel.
It is important to note that participants must be at least 14 years old, and if under 18, they will need parental consent.
