The club offers a safe and supportive environment in which to learn to SCUBA dive and make lifelong friends.
HGSAC boasts a range of facilities and activities for its members. The club owns its own Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) for diving excursions, and members can enjoy weekly pool nights and access to a fully stocked bar and training facilities. Additionally, the club provides equipment for loan, allowing members to comfortably pursue their diving interests.
HGSAC also values connexions with other organisations in the diving community. The club is a proud member of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), the sport's National Governing Body, which offers internationally recognised diver training and development programmes. HGSAC is also affiliated with the Northern Federation of Dive Clubs (NORFED), a federation that facilitates communication and networking among SCUBA diving clubs in the North of England. Furthermore, HGSAC supports Frogfish Photography, a renowned underwater photography team, known for their captivating images and publications.
Members of HGSAC have ample opportunities to engage in diving activities throughout the year. Weekend dives are regularly organised, and when weather and tides prevent sea diving, members can explore local sheltered quarries. The club also arranges longer trips suitable for all budgets and experience levels.
