Welcome

We are a branch of the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC), the world’s largest scuba diving club, and have been operating in Bracknell since 1968. This is a busy, friendly dive club run by its members, offering diving, training, and social activities.

Bracknell Sub Aqua Club 434 is busy with diving, training and social events. The swimming pool is open for swimmers and practical scuba training. Theory training is continuing both remotely and face-to-face. Open water dives are active.

CURIOUS about SCUBA?

If you are new to diving you may like to take a Try Dive first. These diving tasters give the opportunity to experience scuba diving, one-to-one with an experienced instructor in the pool, before committing yourself.

RETURNING to diving?

We welcome all newcomers including divers who have qualified with other dive agencies such as SSI and PADI. Qualified divers may dive with us on their current qualification or take part in BSAC crossover training. For more information about joining the club take a look at the membership section.

ACTIVE DIVER looking for a club?

We’re a very friendly bunch – if you want to find out more, just come along for a chat on a Thursday night by the main swimming pool (no entrance fee required) between 8:00pm and 9.30pm at Bracknell Leisure Centre. Please make yourself known to us so that we can give you more details about the club and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, contact us before you come and we’ll make sure there is someone there to meet you. Contact: publicity@bracknellscuba.org.uk

Member testimonies

I just really enjoy the way it is a true club, not just a place you come to get a diving qualification.

Excellent and very active scuba diving club. Training from beginners to technical available. All taught within the club.

Excellent club for learning to dive. All age groups are careered for and the club is full of experienced divers who can give a wealth of advice. There is a great social side too with something to offer for all the family.
