Membership
From first breaths underwater to lifelong friendships.
Join Buxton Sub Aqua Club
Whether you’re completely new to scuba diving or already qualified, Buxton Sub Aqua Club offers a welcoming, friendly place to learn, dive, and socialise.
We’re a family-friendly, active club based at Buxton Swimming Pool, with weekly pool sessions, a full calendar of UK and overseas dives, and a strong social scene to match.
Our fully qualified instructors can take you from your very first breaths underwater right through to advanced diver level, all at your own pace and surrounded by supportive club members.
But we’re not just about diving — we’re about people. Whether you’re here to explore the underwater world, build confidence, or simply meet like-minded adventurers, you’ll find your place with us.
Not ready to dive? Join us anyway
You don’t need to be a diver to be part of the club.
Our Social Membership is perfect if you’d like to get involved without getting in the water (yet!). Join us for club nights, social events, trips, and the great community that makes the club what it is.

Backed by BSAC — dive with confidence
We are a branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), the UK’s national governing body for scuba diving.
That means all of our training follows nationally recognised standards, delivered by qualified instructors, with a strong focus on safety, skills, and progression.
BSAC training is designed to develop confident, capable divers — whether you’re exploring UK waters or heading abroad — and your qualifications are recognised worldwide.
