Welcome to Basildon Sub Aqua Club

We place great emphasis on training and safety and have members of all age groups.

We have numerous Nationally Qualified Open Water Instructors and Assistants – all of whom willingly and freely give up their time to enhance the experience of others. (This includes a number of ladies who are available to help our female members).

Although we are a BSAC club we have members whose initial training was with other agencies and want to continue their training in a club model with a BSAC branch in Essex.

Nothing from Tue, 10 Dec 24 to Tue, 09 Dec 25.

What our members say...

Having been with the club for many years it has been my pleasure and a rewarding experience to introduce and teach new members in a friendly family atmosphere to become Safe Confident Competent Divers who go on to Dive all over the World safely.

Message from the clubs Diving Officer

My wife and I joined as a couple and soon found ourselves part of a welcoming family. Thorough training was received and great social times along our way to becoming accomplished divers.

Simon & Gemma

After learning to scuba dive on holiday in Cape Verdi, I wanted to continue diving, so looked for a local club with an active diving membership. Basildon SAC gave me the opportunity to continue training and building experience in a friendly supportive atmosphere. I've now been a member of Basildon SAC for ~10 years and have had lot of fun diving locally and on trips to warmer seas.
