Newton Stewart Sub Aqua Club (NSSAC) is a prestigious diving club located in South West Scotland. With a rich diving history of 30 years, NSSAC is now the only active club in the area. The club organises diving trips most weekends and on regular mid-week days, depending on weather conditions.
With a relatively small but growing membership of around 40 individuals, NSSAC welcomes divers from all parts of Galloway and Northern England. Due to the widespread nature of the membership, the club does not have weekly meetings like most traditional clubs. Instead, social media plays a vital role in keeping members connected and informed about club activities.
The main base of operations for NSSAC is situated in the nearby Isle of Whithorn. The club is affiliated with the local sailing club, which provides access to clubhouse facilities and a compressor room. Boats are moored in this location, making it convenient for members to access diving sites in the surrounding waters.
NSSAC prides itself on being inclusive and welcoming to both experienced divers and beginners. Experienced divers who are already trained, regardless of the agency, can join NSSAC and start diving with the club almost immediately. They also have the opportunity to progress their training as British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) divers.
For complete beginners who want to explore the fascinating world of scuba diving, NSSAC provides high-quality BSAC training. Those interested should contact the club to arrange try dives and appropriate training to the Ocean Diver (OD) level.
Dive enthusiasts will find a range of fantastic dive sites to explore in and around Wigtown and Luce bay. NSSAC offers access to these local dives, allowing members to discover the underwater wonders of the area. Additionally, divers can engage in wrecks dives and learn about the history of the wrecks that NSSAC explores.
For quick reference, the club provides useful links such as Admiralty Easy Tide, XCWeather, and the current dive log. Members can stay updated with the latest news and events, including upcoming trips, via the club's website. NSSAC also maintains a gallery showcasing stunning underwater photos and videos.
Members of NSSAC have expressed their satisfaction with the club, highlighting its inclusiveness and the opportunity to explore diverse diving locations throughout the year. The club organises various diving trips, including destinations such as Scapa and Malta, catering to a range of preferences.
To get in touch with NSSAC, individuals can contact the club's Chairman, Diving Officer, or Club Secretary. The club meets at the Wigtown Bay Sailing Club, located at Harbour Row in the Isle of Whithorn.
