Rugby Divers' Training

Training With Rugby BSAC

The Club trains divers up to BSAC’s Dive Leader qualification as well as some additional skills courses. Further qualifications may be gained at a national level. All our instructors are qualified by BSAC and safety is paramount in everything we do!

Where Do We Train?

Training starts in the pool at Ken Marriot Leisure Centre, Rugby. This wonderful facility is available from 9pm every Monday and is used not only by new divers but also experienced divers trying out new kit or enjoying a game of Octopush!

We are also very lucky in having the best inland diving site on our doorstep. This is a flooded quarry at Stony Stanton, near Hinckley. The facilities are excellent including a shop, air fills, excellent safety cover, a sandwich bar and pub. It is ideal for basic  training, and the owners have deliberately sunk a helicopter, light planes, vehicles and a barge for more interesting  dives and to prepare us for more adventurous diving at sea.

Club members can hire BCDs, Regs and Cylinders by contacting the Equipment Officer - Scuba. Equipment Hire fees are listed HERE

And When You've Qualified......

The club runs regular week long and weekend trips during the year. Some of the week  long trips go overseas. We regularly visit the Red Sea and often go further afield.

Other week  and weekend trips go to the coast around UK. These often use the Club’s own fully equipped boat good for 6 divers, or charter specially modified commercial boats for up to 12 divers. As we are in the centre of the country we visit most coast during the year including the English Channel, North Sea, Isle of Man and Scilly Isles, West Wales and Scotland.

Once qualified you don’t only have to dive with the Club. As a member of Rugby Divers you are automatically a member of BSAC, whose training is highly regarded world wide.

You will have a qualification book which will be accepted everywhere. You may want to take a diving package holiday, or simply get a couple of dives in whilst away with the family. This is becoming more and more popular as people look to get more from a holiday than a sun tan, and both parents and teenagers can enjoy the sport together.
