Bradford on Avon Sub Aqua Club

General Information

The Bradford on Avon Sub Aqua Club was formed in 1972 and presently has about 50 members. Bradford on Avon is a small town in West Wiltshire about 10 miles East of Bath. Most of our members live in the West Wiltshire area. The club is affiliated to the British Sub Aqua Club as Branch 0558 and all training and general diving conduct adheres to BSAC's Code of Practice. However, we welcome qualified divers who have trained with other SCUBA organisations and are happy to arrange cross over training where this is wanted or you can simply dive to the limits imposed by your existing qualifications. We meet weekly (see details below).

Our official dive calendar (see below) covers the March-October period each year though the hardier members of the club do dive outside these periods. A training course for Novice divers usually runs from December each year; aiming to get delegates to Sports Diver standard by the spring, ready to enjoy a seasons diving.

The club has two 5.5m Ribs which enable us to enjoy reasonably adventurous diving. Most dives take place on a Sunday somewhere along the Dorset/East Devon coast. Over Public holidays and at other times during the 'summer', weekend trips are organised to more distant dive sites. We also aim to have a club diving holiday each year; in July 2001 we did the Red Sea and in September 2002 we went to the West Coast of Ireland; the red sea is being considered for 2005.
