Learning to dive with Evesham Sub Aqua Club is an enjoyable and cost-effective way to learn to dive, without the pressure that can often occur when taking shorter courses. Everyone learns at their own pace and BSAC training reflects that individuality. People who learn with us build skills and confidence as their experience grows, leading to quality training and very competent divers or snorkellers.
We run regular courses throughout the year for both new and qualified divers with the support of our volunteer BSAC-qualified instructors. All instructors have current DBS checks. We are lucky to be one of the few clubs in the UK to have instructors qualified to teach disabled individuals to dive.
“I had previously completed an SSI beginners course in Australia many years ago but even with my basic knowledge of scuba diving, I am so pleased that I decided to start and go on to successfully complete the Ocean Diver Course with ESAC. My instructor, Rocky, was amazing and gave me a great insight into what diving and especially UK diving was really about! “
