Retired from Scuba Diving?
Have you got unwanted scuba gear you would like to see gone to a good home where it will be used to promote the sport and train new divers?
Send us a message or come see us! We’ll happily put it to good use.
2025 Dinner dance
The date is set for the 2025 Dinner Dance! Celebrate a great year of scuba diving with us at The 1881 Lounge in Urmston on Saturday 15th November 6pm to midnight.
It’s when we have our award ceremony where we announce the winner of the photography and artifact competitions! It’s also a perfect chance to hear about all the trips that have happened this year including:
St Abbs (so nice we did it twice!)
Isle of Man
Anglesey
Bali!
Looking forward to seeing you there for dancing, fun and games and awards and lots of chat about future scuba trips!
