A bit about BUDC!

Banstead Underwater Diving club (BUDC) is a friendly and active British Sub Aqua Club branch who meet each Tuesday evening to train and talk diving.  

 

At present the club has about 30 diving members, plus a number of social members (either non-diving partners or divers who do not dive with the club but like to swim and socialise). 

The pool at Banstead Sports Centre in Banstead, Surrey, where we train from 9-10 each Tuesday night

We are are keen to welcome new members who wish to learn to dive and we also welcome qualified divers from any diving organisation, who wish to dive regularly in the UK with like-minded divers.

 

If you are new to diving, then by becoming a member of BUDC, we offer free BSAC training with all equipment supplied up to Ocean Diver level.

 

The club has its own RIB which is kept at Littlehampton Marina and we go out most weekends between Easter and end of October, weather permitting.  Hardy souls can dive all year round!! 

 

What do we see in the cold, murky waters of the English Channel?

 

Club weekends and holidays are also arranged, both in the UK and abroad.

 

Additional skill development courses, eg boat handling, oxygen administration etc are arranged when requested.

We run 'Try Dives' for those who aren't sure if they will enjoy diving, or just want to see what it's like.  

 

'Try Dives' give you the opportunity to have a go using scuba equipment and see what it's all about, at a very reasonable price of £10.

 

 

Tom, enjoyed his try dive so much he came back for another one!!

If you are already qualified, we will recognise your qualification according to the BSAC 'Table of Similar Qualifications' and will give you a brief 'Introduction to BSAC'  so that you understand the structure.  If you want to further your training, there are a number of  BSAC Cross-Over training packages which take into account your previous qualifications.

 

If you would like more information or want to arrange a try dive, send us an email and we will contact you.
