It’s easy for PADI qualified (or other agency) divers to dive with Stafford Sub Aqua Club and BSAC.

Your qualification can be used under BSAC, we will identify any gaps and arrange relevent training with our instructors. We will organise a few cross over sessions that will enable you to progress to the next BSAC diving grade – it’s that easy!

If you’ve never dived in the UK before or if you haven’t dived for a few seasons, we have facilities for you to polish up those skills.

We have regular open water trips to quarries and saltwater destinations in the UK and abroad, organised by our members – not to mention many social events throughout the year.

Come and meet us on Wednesdays at 7.45pm at Stafford Leisure Centre!

You can find the BSAC equivalent diving grades here – but ask us the question if you aren’t sure: https://www.bsac.com/document/bsac-equivalency-chart/

If you are interested in joining our club please don’t hesitate to contact us. See our Membership tab for prices.
