About
Bristol Underwater Club (UBUC) is a SCUBA diving club located in Bristol, New Zealand. Whether you are an experienced diver or have always been eager to learn, UBUC offers a wide range of opportunities for divers of all skill levels.
One of the main offerings of UBUC is affordable scuba diving. They provide training towards the BSAC Ocean Diver qualification, which begins in October each year. For those who already have an existing qualification, UBUC offers additional training to help divers attain their next qualification level, including training up to instructor level.
In addition to training, UBUC organises regular dive trips both within the UK and abroad. They have two boats that are used for dive trips across the UK, and they also organise annual trips to international locations. These trips offer divers the opportunity to explore different dive sites and experience the beauty of the underwater world.
While UBUC is primarily focused on diving, they also organise a variety of social activities. These activities include talks, bar crawls (which sometimes involve the club's boats), and visits to other places of interest. This allows members to not only engage in diving activities but also foster a sense of community and camaraderie among members.
UBUC has a gallery where divers can check out photos from their various dive trips in the UK and abroad. They also offer a newsletter subscription, allowing members to receive weekly email updates.
For more information about UBUC and their activities, interested individuals can visit their website and social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. The club also has a shop where members can purchase diving equipment.
