Activity
We're a group of students who love an adventure and a good time, not to mention a pint or two! Come and meet us at Freshers Fayre where you can sign up to a try dive in a pool (starting 28th September 2024).
If you enjoyed your try dive, come along to the Eldon Arms pub every Tuesday to join us for a chat and a burger, and get to know the committee. We also run many pub crawls throughout the year which are always great fun, as well as a few formal events here and there.
There will be a training trip to an inland site, for a long weekend around March. Similarly, the club organises many trips throughout the year, pretty much every weekend, where we dive at sea and inland sites. We've been to Egypt as well as Oban (Scotland), and we plan to organise more in the upcoming years.
Find us at Freshers Fayre and we can give you more details!
