Membership Costs (Correct as at June 2007) The annual membership fee paid by all members of the club, is made up of a Club membership fee, and a BSAC membership fee. The Club Membership fee goes towards the running of the club through the purchase and maintenance of equipment, to the hiring of the pool once a week. The BSAC membership fee is paid directly to BSAC and this helps to run the BSAC Organisation. For this fee full members receive 3rd party insurance and the monthly magazine DIVE. The total cost of membership varies depending on your circumstances:
Snorkel Membership - Cost on Application ONLY Training Costs Once you have decided to take up Scuba Diving, and wish to be trained through our club with a BSAC qualified instructor, you must join the club by paying the relevant membership fee. During training for your chosen qualification, you will need to have the relevant training pack. These can vary from course to course but usually include a Text Book and Study Guide. These training packs come from BSAC and cost upto £30 each, the club will order these for you if requested.      
As far as actual payment for instruction, there it is nominal. Through the BSAC scheme, instruction is given by qualified branch members to other branch members for free however, you may be asked to pay increased pool fees to cover the instructors pool use.

It is advisable however, to buy your own Mask, Fins and Snorkel as soon as possible. The club owns a selection of equipment which is available to hire for use in the pool and also for open water dives. Costs for hiring equipment and use of the pool are available by using the above link. |
