Tim Stephens is thrilled to invite everyone to explore the underwater world with the Ilkeston and Kimberley Sub Aqua Club (IKSAC). Located in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire, this club has over forty years of diving experience and is one of the oldest in the Midlands.
Tim and the team at IKSAC offer top-notch training according to Sub-Aqua Association (SAA) standards, ensuring that both newcomers and seasoned divers receive the best guidance and support. Their well-qualified instructors help divers progress safely from beginners to SAA dive supervisors, blending practical experience with sound theoretical knowledge.
What sets IKSAC apart is its open, inclusive approach. Divers from all certifications are welcome, with no need to worry about converting qualifications. This inclusive atmosphere makes IKSAC a lively and friendly community where divers at all levels can feel at home. The club encourages families to dive and socialise together, underscoring its reputation as the "friendly club."
Beyond diving, IKSAC has a busy social calendar, providing plenty of chances for members to bond. To keep up with all the activities, members can visit the IKSAC website or follow them on Facebook (Ilkeston and Kimberley Sub Aqua) and YouTube (TheIKSAC).
For those curious about diving, IKSAC offers "Try Dive" experiences. These sessions are perfect for getting a taste of what the underwater world has to offer. The club also organises trips to popular dive sites like 8 Acre Lakes, Stoney Cove, and Dosthill.
Tim, along with the Chairperson Antony Clarke, Diving Officer Richard Petter, and Training Officer Dennis Pickworth, is always available to provide more information. They can be contacted directly through the phone numbers on the website.
IKSAC holds its pool sessions and training every Friday from 8 pm to 9 pm at Kimberley Leisure Centre. The club maintains strong links with other diving organisations like PADI, BSAC, and CMAS, ensuring members have access to a broad network of resources.
Tim Stephens and the IKSAC team are proud of their heritage and ongoing commitment to diving. They invite divers of all levels to join their vibrant community and experience the underwater wonders firsthand.
