Welcome To BSAC 21

Edinburgh Divers was founded in 1953 and incorporated with the British Sub Aqua Club in 1954.

We are Branch number 21 of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) based in Edinburgh with over  50 members.

We run a full range of dive trips and training to suit divers of all experiences.   Our membership ranges from Ocean Divers to BSAC First Class Divers, with a variety of instruction qualifications as well.

Most members dive using open-circuit scuba equipment,  however we have a growing number of divers enjoying the bubbleless world of closed-circuit rebreathers.  

Some amongst us are marine biologists and others are serious technical diving junkies, however the majority of us fit somewhere in between these extremes! 

Whatever it is that gets you excited underwater, we are confident that you will find at least one buddy who shares your interest. 

Want to expand you diving?

Diving in Scotland affords unbeatable scenery and sea life both above and below the water, as well as fantastic opportunities for wreck diving and exploration.  If you learned abroad and think that warm seas are the only ones worth experiencing, then think again!  

We organise trips all year round with regular day trips to local dive sites.  We also organise longer trips to the Sound of Mull,  Oban, the Farne Islands and the Moray Firth.  

We use either our own ribs or local hardboat operators.

We've also organised week long expeditions to Scapa Flow in Orkney, Shetland, Norway,  Northern Ireland and Egypt in the last three years.

Come and Meet us

Pool training takes place at the Wester Hailes Education Centre on Wednesday evenings, 8.00 – 9.00 p.m.    All club members have free use of the pool for this session.   

We then meet in the Tanners Bar on Lanark Road from 9.15pm.  

Costs

Annual Membership is split between BSAC membership for your registration as a diver (this includes third party insurance and twelve monthly magazines) which is £50.00 and Club Subscriptions which covers pool costs and maintenance of our two boats  = £95 for one year .   There is also an additional one off cost for unqualified new members of £77.   This covers the Ocean diver training pack (manuals/logbook) provided by BSAC and also the use of pool equipment during training.

A self medical certificate must be completed.  In most cases this is a self-declaration, however any questions and queries can be resolved on application to a BSAC medical referee.
