Would you like to go SCUBA diving?
Exeter BSAC
can teach you
Pool Sessions (nb. weather permitting, we dive in the sea all through the winter). All year round we hold regular pool sessions in the clear, warm water inside Riverside Leisure Centre. So on a Tuesday evening you can practice your skills, check out new equipment, or just have a bit of fun in the pool. Really cheap for club members (£2), but pre-booking is essential – via Anne, or use the contact us page.
WINTER DIVE TALKS
Friday January 23rd at 8pm
Nik and Petra will talk through the BSAC Report on diving accidents (Annual Incident Diving Report). They’ll discuss some accidents that might have been prevented. Every year reports of diving incidents go to BSAC, and it’s great to learn from those reports. If you dive, this could be an hour well spent.
Friends, non club dive buddies & family welcome too 🙂
Friday February 27th at 7:30pm.
Dive kit & how to save a dive. Andy L will give loads of helpful hints – setup, maintenance, repairs, tricks, cheats, plus preventing and solving kit problems. Make your gear last longer and have less kit trouble.
All divers welcome (even if you’re not a club member).
Friday 6th March at 8pm
Street SAC are going to recount the tale of their fire.
All divers welcome (even if you’re not a club member).
Friday 30th Jan. Dive Planning for this season ……. 7:00pm in the clubhouse
Calling all Dive Managers, Dive Leaders and trainee Dive Leaders), Diver Coxwains and Boat Handlers – and anyone who would like to have a say in where and what diving we do in the coming year. Come along to a planning evening on Friday 30th January at 7pm at the clubhouse. The aim of the evening will be to get some dive dates in the diary, with outline plans for interesting and varied sites.
Bring your ideas and help make plans for a fantastic 2026 season with a mix of wrecks and reefs, boat and shore dives and hopefully some club weekends away. The more people that get involved the more diving we all get to do😊 We will bring dive site books, charts, tidal stream atlases and tide tables – and pizza to nibble on! Jane Tanasa.
Yippee!!– our RIB was well used in 2025.
Not only for diving, but also for boat training. If there are people around, and the weather plays ball, we take it out. Just how cool is that? Jane is currently hatching the 2026 dive plan, and that will be published near Easter.
Sunday 1st February, and Sunday 1st March
Yes – we dive all year round, and our club dives are usually the first Sunday in the month. The sea temp will be about 8c for the February dive, but you can still get a 40 to 45 minute dive in a 7mm semi-dry suit. If it’s been calm, then underwater viz can be amazing ‘cos the sediment settles and there’s no plankton bloom. If you’re certified, and fancy a dive, come and join us. Use the contact us page if you don’t get club e-mails and want an invite. Open to all qualified divers, though if you’ve not dived recently we’ll ask you to do a pool refresher session first.
Use the contact form if you want more information.
Music Quiz …. Congratulations team ‘Cilla Black’, who managed to just pip last years winners (Quiz Peacocks) by one point. It was a fun evening, and great to see the club house completely full. Well done to all that helped, and a big, big thank you to all those that came.
Thank you to all for raising money for club funds – and the next Music Quiz is on Friday 13th Nov 2026 …. unlucky for some!!
NEW**. Kit hire. From June 2025 the club’s kit hire fees.

Learn to dive with BSAC.
You can have fun while learning, plus get a qualification that’s accepted all over the world. Learning to dive in the UK makes foreign diving so much easier. Learning to dive costs £374, which includes your training, one year of BSAC membership (includes insurance). Use the contact form to find out more.
UK diving can be fantastic, though it can be more challenging than diving abroad. It’s still diving though, and it’s great to see life underwater.
Our club has a National Instructor, 4 Advanced Instructors, and numerous Open Water Instructors. We’ve even got an Instructor for those with disabilities, so why not give diving a go 🙂
Fridays at 8pm in our clubhouse
Come and have a chat and drink in our licensed bar on a Friday evening (8pm). Don’t worry if you’re a complete novice, not dived for years, or just curious to know more about diving.
If you can swim, then come and talk to us. The underwater world can be amazing!
