Welcome,

Let us teach you to dive, or just join us in exploring the underwater world. We have 50 current members most of whom are regularly diving, maintaining a varied diving programme that suits all tastes. Many members also give freely of their time and effort to introduce and extend the diving experiences of others, assisting with diver development throughout the year.

As a Branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club, we follow its training and qualification system. You can train with us progressing from beginner through to speciality and technical diving courses. At ESAC we feel we offer something more than other diver training organisations; the opportunity to be part of a thriving club and to train at your own pace, without commercial pressure.

ESAC owns three RIB’s meaning you can get involved in all aspects of a days diving, with regular trips and holidays in the UK and abroad, as part of our busy diving calendar.

For those trips further a field, or where the luxury of a liveaboard is preferred, we use many of the commercial operators both within the UK and overseas.

In summary, we are an active club who enjoy diving and socialising with like-minded people. We welcome new members, from any organisation, and hope that you will enjoy your diving experiences with us.

Chairman

Who Are We ?

Eastcote Sub-Aqua Club is Branch 514 of the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC). We follow the BSAC’s training and diving standards and our members enjoy the benefits of BSAC membership and holding universally recognised diving qualifications.

Less formally, we are a sociable group of people from different walks of life who are brought together by a love of diving. Amongst our members are Teachers, Builders, Barristers, Dentists, Lorry Drivers, Software Engineers etc. etc. But only one will admit to being teetotal!

What Do We Do?

As our name implies, our main raison d'etre is diving. You will find us somewhere on the South Coast most weekends from May to September and further afield on week long holidays in the summer. We own three boats which are used to get divers to and from dive sites and also to give family boat rides during lunch breaks!

However, the British diving season is woefully short and trips abroad are organised for early or late in the year. We keep ourselves busy during the ‘dry season’ with training, maintenance of the Club boats, and social events.
