Making Diving Possible
Joining
To join the club contact the membership secretary and come along to a club night on any Thursday. Let us know you are coming and we will be very happy to welcome you.
If you are an existing member the membership secretary will let you know when your membership comes up at Club night.
Can I learn to dive with you?
Bansac offers training throughout the year to teach you the basics of diving. We hold theroy sessions, practical sessions in the pool and open water sessions in Stoney Cove and in the sea. We provide the equipment you need to get going and the support from both instructors and experienced divers.
I am already a qualifided diver but would like to join a club?
Many people learnt to dive whilst travelling or on holiday but are unable to continue as they do not have friends who want to carry on with them. The club provides training for you to continue your learning and plenty of people to dive with the extend your experience.
I am an experienced diver looking for a club, is this the club for me?
The club has a good compressor and a RIB that can be borrowed at a minimum charge by any member. There are a range of divers in the club some of which do extended range diving.
Can I learn to dive with my kids?
Children can start to dive from the age of 12. We have welcomed quite a few children into the club with their parents to learn to dive. Having said that we would recommend that you ensure your child is really confident in water first. To this end we recommended that you first make sure your child can snorkel comfortably.
I would like to dive but my partner is not interested, what can I do?
Many people join the club and learn to dive with their partner but some people do not want to dive, we have no idea why not! If this is the case why not consider encouraging your partner to become a social member (i.e. a non diving member). This means that bar actually diving you are a member of the club with access to the pool every Thursday for swimming and, of course, all the social events held by the club.
I am not 100% sure if diving is for me but I would like to give it a go?
Many people are not sure if they will really enjoy the diving experience. That is why we offer "TRY DIVES" on any club night. Why not book yourself in and just give diving a go in the safety of the swimming pool. Sessions are £10 each and you will be taken in the pool by an experienced diver who will introduce you in a very controlled way to the underwater world.
