Established
Romsey Sub-Aqua Club is a small friendly diving club founded in 1981, since then we have welcome new members from the South-Hampshire and Wiltshire area.
Affiliation
Romsey SAC is affiliated to the BSAC; branch number 1259. We understand that there are many other training agencies, and welcome people from all different kinds of diving (and non-diving) backgrounds.
Location
Romsey SAC is a Hampshire dive club, located 10 miles north of Southampton on the English South-Coast. Our membership is drawn from Romsey, Salisbury, Winchester Chandlers Ford and Southampton areas.
Mission Statement
Romsey Sub-Aqua Club provides a co-operative environment for like-minded people to participate in Sports Diving safely. Romsey SAC believes in equal opportunities and has an active membership of both men and women; we have about 35 members.
Objectives
A club setting allows members to enjoy a wide variety of diving in the UK and abroad, and promotes members to plan underwater expeditions of their choice. Romsey SAC provides free training to members from Ocean to Advanced Diver, allowing them to train others, hence reducing the overall cost of diving. Romsey SAC provide a forum for member to discuss diving topics, equipment and techniques to further a safe diving environment economically. Finally, and most importantly, Romsey SAC is a group of people who enjoy each other’s company and often meet on social events throughout the week.
Organise ~1-3 foreign dive holidays a year, these include places like the Red-Sea, Thailand and Truk Lagoon.
To have long weekends/weeks away to other UK coastlines and inland waters.
Romsey SAC members organise day-dive weekends on the South-Coast, typically between Littlehampton and Portland.
Organise diving related trip like: Submarine Escape Training Tank, Hyperbaric Chambers, RNLI and Coastguard.
To vary the level of diving to serve the needs of beginners and experienced divers alike.
To provide a rigid-hulled inflatable boat and necessary training to the membership.
To provide a weekly swimming pool session in order to promote training and fitness.
To continually enhance the social aspect of the club
Qualifications
Romsey SAC is affiliated to The British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC). We understand that a lot of divers are trained using qualifications from other organisations, for example PADI, we accept all BSAC recognised alternative training. If you wish to join Romsey SAC we can either offer you the equivalent BSAC qualification without further training, or you can maintain and follow further training from other dive agencies. Look at our training section to examine the “Statement of Alternative Training” to find-out more. If you decide to continue with your alternative qualifications programme, suitable third-party insurance must be provided, for example DAN International. Romsey SAC can provide a small conversion course to gain BSAC levels and provide training to higher BSAC qualifications that are recognised worldwide.

Alternative agencies may only offer appropriate experience for foreign holidays. On the UK coast, the conditions are tidal, colder and darker than you would find in places like the Red Sea. You are not expected to be the perfect UK diver, and hence you will be introduced to the UK environment at an appropriate pace.
Pool Session
The club meets on a Tuesday evening at a local swimming pool for 2 hours, followed by drinks at a the Abbey Hotel in Romsey..
Romsey SAC welcomes divers aged 14 years or greater, particularly from parents who are also active members of the club.
