Plymouth Sound Divers is a branch of the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) and operates a membership scheme this provides the club with resources to allow diving to happen in an accessible way. By joining; you support club diving activities and gain a range of benefits.
The club’s membership is made up of about 80 people who have a range of interests and skill levels. If you are interested in marine life, historical sites or deep wrecks our club community is perfect for you.
We are always on the lookout for new members to join our club. You do not have to be a BSAC qualified diver to join or even know how to dive. The club has a community of experienced Scuba diving Instructors who can help you begin your diving career or develop your current skill level.
We believe there is something for everyone from Individuals, Couples and Families who like to go Scuba Diving. Our membership is made up of an enthusiastic and active group of divers who are looking to meet fellow Scuba Divers in Britain’s Ocean City.

We dive all year round, at the weekend and on weekdays. If the weather is not suitable for inshore sites we dive within Plymouth Sound. Which has a lot to offer.
