For an incredible new experience, sign up for a Try Dive and take your first step towards the diving adventure you’ve always dreamed of! You’ll experience the unique sensation of breathing underwater for the very first time, and with a BSAC Try Dive, you’ll be taken through your paces by some of the friendliest divers around.<\/p>\n

A Try Dive is the perfect introduction to scuba diving and if you’ve always wanted to learn, would like to test out the water before you go on holiday or are just curious, then a Try Dive is for you.<\/p>\n

Almost anyone, from the age of 12 can learn to dive with Sussex Diving Club. To get you started, a Try Dive will provide you with a lesson with a qualified instructor, including poolside tuition on diving technique and equipment, followed by scuba diving in the pool.<\/p>\n

If you would like us to arrange a Try Dive for you, please email us on – dive@sussexdiving.co.uk<\/strong> –\u00a0 It really helps us if you can add your t-shirt and shoe size so that we can provide the right fitting kit for you when you come along.<\/p>\n

If you have already tried diving and want to continue your training, just let us know.\u00a0 If you are a qualified diver, but have never tried diving in the UK, or are looking to return to diving after a gap, we can help you review your dive skills and help with what dive equipment you would need to purchase to get back in the water.<\/p>\n

UK diving has so much to offer – convenient local diving, interactions with UK wildlife, and of course a friendly club atmosphere with likeminded divers.\u00a0 Take a look at our Qualified Divers<\/a>\u00a0page for more information about diving with us.<\/p>\n

Join us to find out more about how you can carry on learning to dive with BSAC<\/a> – the largest and friendliest dive club in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n
