InDepth Dive Club SAA & PADI

Call Directions Website

InDepth Dive Club  SAA & PADI InDepth Dive Club is an independent SAA and PADI club. The Dive Centre is not run for commercial gain, it is run professionally for recreational purposes.

InDepth Dive Club is part of the InDepth Dive Centre and was established by a group of friends who wanted to dive more and teach to the highest possible standard. We are, first and foremost a PADI Dive Centre & PADI club, but we are also a member of the Sub-Aqua Association (SAA) which is affiliated to CMAS (the worldwide federation for scuba diving). Subsequently, all the training and qualifications that we can provide are recognised internationally. We have an active club night that meets on Thursday evenings from 8:15pm until 11:30pm. These club nights alternate fortnightly between meeting at Tewkesbury School Swimming Pool and, in the summer months, at Cromhall Quarry for a mid-week dive. Training takes place all-year-round and we also have many social nights, which include BBQs, bowling, cinema, go-carting, Go Ape, and all sorts of other activities. Many of the club's SCUBA diving trips make use of our own boat, called 'Deep Blue' - a Humber Destroyer 5.8 RHIB with 115hp engine. We take all levels of qualifications and experience from instructor grades to complete novices. Divers are encouraged to broaden their diving knowledge and incentives are available for club members to progress into instructor qualifications. If you're already qualified, no matter with which training agency, and want to dive on a regular basis with a friendly bunch then come and see us. Have a look at our club calendar to see what we get up to. If you want to learn how to dive or even take your existing qualifications further we can provide the necessary training up to dive supervisor within the club and further than that including instructor grades with the both the SAA & PADI. We welcome all abilities and disabilities. So please do not be put off if you have any special requirements. You will be made most welcome by our club. We have a number of members with both visible and hidden disabilities. Club diving with a recognised agency such as the SAA & PADI provides you with the same high standard of training and care as you'd expect commercially, the only real difference is the social aspects and friendships that typically come with diving in a club environment, especially one that has a policy of 'inclusivity' at its core and within its very constitution!

Neal and Kev had a productive day on the RHIB adding some ‘bling’… new Checkerplate sides and mudguards fitted to the trailer, a new stereo and speakers for a few tunes and various other little bits. She’s almost finished now. 👍

Relatively busy pool session this week despite having numerous club members overseas. ✈️ ⛴️

Last night saw a PADI ReActivate take place for new club member Louise. Welcome to InDepth Louise, we’re delighted to have you join us! 👏

Many thanks to the team, as always, for all of their hard work. As we are a club, none of our instructional team are paid, they all volunteer and give freely of their time and expertise. Thank you. 🙏

Many congratulations to our very own Vishaka on being selected for Global Underwater Explorers 2027 NEXTGEN Legacy Program! 👏

GUE is a global diving organisation built around education, exploration and conservation. GUE brings together divers, educators, scientists, explorers and conservationists through training and projects around the world. 🌎

Vish learnt about GUE during her time spent cenote diving in Mexico and from that moment her life changed… she found out about the NextGen Scholarship in April and she just knew she had to apply. 🤿 😊

The NextGen Scholarship and Trainee program was developed by GUE as a way to empower the next generation of divers by providing a year of training and other benefits to deserving young divers 21-30 years of age on their quest for excellence.

The NextGen scholars and trainees make up the NextGen Legacy Program (NGLP). This is GUE’s broader community for developing the next generation of project divers and leaders in exploration, diving and the organisation itself. It grew out of the NextGen Scholarship and connects scholars, trainees, past participants, GUE instructors, scientists and other project divers. 🤿

The program aims to create a network of people who can learn from one another, receive mentorship, participate in projects and eventually create their own impact in exploration, conservation, science, education and other areas of diving.

Vish applied in June with an essay, thesis and a 2 min lute ‘Elevator Pitch’ 🎥 video talking about her dive journey, her goals for the scholarship year and why she would be an ideal NextGen Scholar for 2027.

After applying for the GUE NextGen Scholarship, alongside more than 100 divers from around the world, she was not selected as the scholar, but she was honoured to be selected as one of just nine NextGen Trainees — part of a group of exceptional runners-up chosen to join GUE’s NextGen Legacy Program.

The NextGen Legacy Program supports the next generation of project divers through personalised mentorship, training opportunities, diving experiences and opportunities to contribute to exploration and conservation initiatives. As a 2027 Trainee, she’s excited to continue developing her diving skills, particularly in technical and cold-water diving, while working towards her goals in scientific diving, marine conservation and underwater exploration.

A shout out to the ‘team’ for all of their help over the last few weeks with the latest group of open water students. 🤿

From hours in the pool, travelling, emails & admin to instructing, supporting, providing surface cover, sorting out a brew, bringing the biscuits, taking down the gazebo, filling the cylinders. The tasks that get taken care of behind the scenes are numerous and frequently unseen, particularly by the students who ultimately benefit from all that support that they are unaware even takes place.

So a big thank you to all involved. 🙏

A few underwater shots from Saturday's final dive at The Lake.

Many congratulations to both Tim & Rufus on completing 4 long dives. Each of which was between 45 - 70 minutes with a total underwater time of approximately 3.5 hours at The Lake. 🤿

Thanks to the instructor team and club members for all of their help and all the staff at The Lake. 🙏

Club members Dan and Stefano heading out to the wreck of the RMS Alaunia onboard ‘Our W’ out of Eastbourne this weekend.

The Alaunia is a Cunard ocean liner that lies on her port side and is famous for her huge anchor hanging down. If you get the viz she’s a bangin’ dive! 🤿

Hopefully the boys will have a few underwater shots to share later… 📸

A long day at Thornbury Leisure Centre today for students, Tim, Ben, Jonno and Rufus as they worked their way through the confined water skills for their PADI Open Water Diver certification. 🤿

They all did a cracking job as well, having previously spent a few weeks at Tewkesbury Pool on our Thursday evening club nights getting ready for today.

These four are now ready to progress to open water and will hopefully be fully qualified soon.

Many thanks to the instructor team for all their hard work as always. James, Heidi. 🙏
