Welcome to Scuba Diving...

The undersea world is fascinating, exciting and mysterious, the last great wilderness on earth. You will be amazed at the variety, profusion and colour of the aquatic creatures that can be found, not just in tropical waters, but also around the coast of Britain. Learning to dive enables you to see this amazing world for yourself. The choice is yours; once qualified you can take up marine photography or archaeology, explore wrecks or just enjoy watching the marine life from the smallest to the largest on earth, both in the UK and abroad.

Whatever your ultimate aim diving can offer an exciting and rewarding pastime for years to come.

Already dived before? We welcome divers from all other diving agencies. Just bring along your training log. Any additional training will still be free.

Interested? Then why not come along to Currock House any Monday between 7:30 and 8:15p.m. for a chat and arrange to have a TRY DIVE in the pool.

The Club meets on a Monday evenings.

About us...

Our club has been in existence forty seven years and is the oldest Sub-Aqua Club in Carlisle and North Cumbria.

Carlisle SAC is affiliated to the Scottish Sub-Aqua Club (SCOTSAC), which was founded in 1953 and has more than 60 active branches in Scotland and the Border region.

We dive all year round and visit the local Lakes, Firth of Clyde, St Abbs; Eyemouth, Loch Long and Loch Fyne for both recreational and training dives. We have an annual trip abroad - for 2012 this will be the Medes Islands, Estartit, Spain. Our trips in 2011 were to Scapa Flow, Sound of Mull, Isle of Man and the Maldives. Keep an eye on our diary page for details of trips in 2012.
