New - updated Dive schedule - see Notice Board Pages

Welcome to the North West Kent (0489) branch of The British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC)

As part of the largest scuba diving club in the world, our branch has been in existence for over 30 years, and has trained hundreds of people to dive safely and enjoyably.

We are a small friendly dive club based in Gravesend, Kent. We meet weekly on a Thursday night 20:00 to 22:00 to train in a local swimming pool, then off to a local hostelry to socialise and talk about - diving, what else!

As a new member of the North West Kent branch of BSAC you will be given a new members pack which includes a diving manual, log book and course instruction booklet for your first stage in training to be an Ocean Diver.

We are always willing to welcome new members, from complete novices, to those who have trained with other agencies (PADI, SAA, etc.), and wish to transfer to BSAC. Previous training and experience will count towards BSAC qualifications.

We look forward to welcoming new members who will develop with the club and pass their expertise on to others.
