What's on next,

Club dives are fun and open to all certified divers, even if you trained with another agency. Non-club members are very welcome to dive as a visitor a limited number of times (3).

If you've not dived in a while, we will arrange a refresher pool session before you go back into the sea. If you are new to UK diving, then you'll be with an experienced buddy. These dives are an easy shore dive with lots to see, followed by a good cafe brunch (vegetarian choices are available). It's a 'dive for fun' at a relatively easy site. It's perfect if you've been out of the water for a while, or just want to practice with unfamiliar kit. More info from Sally Richards, Andy Laird or via the club Contact page.

They are easy, safe dives, and go on all year round. Use the contact page if you want more details.

Next club dive Sunday 3rd May

Club (shore) dives – are usually on the first Sunday of every month. Occasionally this is changed because of weather or tide times. It’s a local shore dive followed by an (optional) brunch.

These are fun dives, and all are welcome. Non-club members can dive free of charge as a visitor (up to 3 times), provided you’re a certified diver. If you’ve got all the kit – fantastic, but if you haven’t, then our club has some training kit that can be used (small hire fee is payable). If you’ve not been in the water for a while, then we can easily do a pool session to refresh your skills. Use the contact form to get in touch. .

Our Chairman Nik says ………. I’ve got the OK to go ahead with organising a search for the fabled Budleigh 3^rd reef on Sunday 26^th April. It had a reputation for lots of interesting life on it, but nobody knows if it’s been dredged out of existence, or what it might look like. I’m looking forward to finding out!

This will be a boat dive, launching from Exmouth. I expect the depth to be around 18 metres, and therefore it will be suitable for all qualified divers. For any interested trainee needing a qualifying boat/deeper dive, please talk to me and I’ll see what can be done.

NEW**. Kit hire – current rates

Exeter BSAC Members £3.50 per item (up to a maximum of £21). Non-Members £5.00 per item (up to a maximum of £30)

Also, because we are a busy club, members have priority on dives, so visitors are now limited to only 3 (free shore*) dives with the club. (* kit hire charges apply).

BOAT DIVES. – the boat was used a lot in 2025. It’s away for the winter at present, but here’s the 2026 schedule (subject to weather).

Weather permitting …… there’s usually someone diving midweek – and certainly at weekends. These are usually shore dive – which are very easy and keep the costs down. Some club members manage over 100 dives every year, and we’re lucky to have several good local dive sites. Exeter BSAC has Facebook and WhatsApp groups to help people find buddies. If conditions are good, then we simply go and dive 🙂

Friday 13th November 2026 – Advance notice of the annual music quiz.

A fun evening, and a team event, so no one looks silly if you don’t know all the answers. Don’t worry if you’re not in a team, for we’ll be sorting teams out on the evening. This event was a sell out last year, and tickets will be on sale 2 months before the quiz. It’s sensible to make a note of this date in your diary.
