Darwen SAC secures Lottery Grant

Darwen SAC have secured a lottery grant from Awards For All of over £9000 to fund their Morecambe Bay Surveys. The money has been used to update the clubs RIB engine and the GPS and sounder.

                                           

The new engine will reduce the costs for running the boat allowing for greater access to the RIB to all club members. The new engine will also reduce the boat's carbon footprint. The GPS and sounder are necessary to ensure safety at sea.

 The club has great plans for the Morecambe Bay Surveys. We intend to survey the wrecks of the Hebe and Crusader as well as gather data to support the Irish Sea Conservation and Sea Search.

  • Membership

    Darwen Sub Aqua Club has range of memberships available.

  • Diver Grades
    The British Sub Aqua Club has been training people to dive since the early fifties. During this time the Diver Training Programme has been regularly updated and improved, to keep pace with developments in equipment and diving knowledge. The programme is designed to build confidence and self-reliance, whilst keeping safety uppermost.
    Diving skills are taught progressively so that each new experience is built upon step by step. Following basic training in the safety of a swimming pool or protected area, students soon complete their first open water dives to achieve Ocean Diver certification. This progression continues to Sports Diver and beyond, where open water skills and techniques are further developed and experience gained.
  • Experienced Divers

    If you already have a diving qualification then Darwen Sub-Aqua Club can offer you a regular programme of dives and the opportunity to learn advanced techniques and specialised skills. But the real advantage is in having a group of dive buddies who meet regularly, both for diving and social events, with whom you can gain further experience.

    You can start diving with Darwen Sub-Aqua Club straight away. Your existing qualification will be recognised and you will be able to dive with us once you have joined.
    If you are a member of another Club, come and say hello and join in with our trips and events as we regularly share trips events and resources with other clubs.
