Reading University BSAC branch 9238

Welcome to Reading University Sub Aqua Club (RUBSAC) ...yes we find it funny too! Our club was formed over 40 years ago as branch no. 9238 of the internationally recognised British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC), the largest scuba diving club in the world, and we provide training for their qualifications.

Each year we train divers old and new and organise dive trips to sites around the UK, as well as warm water diving holidays abroad. In the past destinations have included Isles of Scilly, Plymouth, Cornwall, the Red Sea and Malta.

We have all the kit you'll need (all the expensive bits) as well as a diving boat (she's orange and she's called Bungle).

We meet every Thursday in HUMMS building room 229 from 7.30pm. And we usually head down to the Queens Head pub (aka 'The Nob') just by the university.

Try Dives

If you would like to try scuba diving or are interested in one of our courses, take the plunge and give it a go for just £10. An instructor will take you for your dive in a local swimming pool, where you can get a small taste of scuba diving, and you'll be guaranteed a fun time and of course there are no strings attached. You can then decide to train with us. Please contact us if you're interested.

Already qualified?

Learned to dive abroad and want to continue enjoying your newfound love? PADI and all other agencies are welcome. We can cross your qualification over to a BSAC equivalent if need be. Non-students are also welcome, we have many older members!
