Plymouth Sound Dive Club About Us
Diving
We are an active Branch and dive throughout the year as often as members want to turn out! Dives are arranged weekly at our Monday evening meeting. Wreck Diving, Reef Diving, Drift Diving, Deep Diving, Scenic Diving, Night Diving etc. - all depending on our members' interests and capabilities. In the main diving season, diving takes place virtually every day with several dives each weekend day. Most diving is within a range of 20 miles from Plymouth Sound. Regular away trips take place to other parts of Devon and Cornwall. Members also arrange trips abroad. Launching from our base at the Mount Batten Centre could not be easier. The centre has changing facilities, hot showers, bar and food usually available all day. As a Plymouth Sound BSAC member you have centre membership as well with its discounts and privileges.

Training
We have many Nationally Qualified Instructors and offer the full range of BSAC Courses for Ocean Diver, Sports Diver, Dive Leader and Advanced Diver. We can even provide your equipment for the early stages of your training. Our wide range of members interests, expertise and qualifications means that we can also offer a wide range of BSAC Skill Development Courses - Boat Handling, Nitrox & Advanced Nitrox, Oxygen Administration, Practical Rescue Management, Search & Recovery, Marine Life Identification, First Aid for Divers, Lifesaver & Advanced Lifesaver Awards to name a few.

Equipment
We have two Rigid Inflatable Boats, a 5.8 m Tornado and a 6.8m Ribcraft fully equipped with 115 HP and 223 HP engines respectively, marine VHF radios, O2 Kits, Echo Sounders and GPS Navigators. The Branch has it's own air compressor (with clean air filter for oxygen clean cylinders) and storage bank. Air is FREE to all members. The club has Nitrox facilities and charges £1.50 a Nitrox fill to members. We also have many sets of diving equipment for the initial stages of your training.

Already qualified with another agency? Want to join and have non-BSAC diving qualifications? We welcome divers who have learned to dive with other training agencies (PADI, SAA, NAUI etc.) We can also offer you BSAC crossover-training programmes which allow you to build upon what you already know.
