That’s a wrap on RUBSAC 2025!

From sports divers getting qualified, a cracking camping trip at Kernow Dive Festival, and an unforgettable summer in Gozo, to welcoming an amazing group of freshers and training loads of new Ocean Divers, this year had it all! We packed the calendar with trips to Swanage, Portland and Vobster, diving across the UK in all conditions.

And on top of that, we smashed fundraising towards a new compressor, setting RUBSAC up for the future 💙

Huge thanks to everyone who got involved and made this year such a success. Bring on 2026! 🎉🥳🐠🤿

We’re heading to Devon on the weekend of 11th July to dive with one of the UK’s largest marine mammals, the incredible Grey Seal! 🦭
We’ll be chartering a boat out to Lundy on one day, and diving the south coast on the other.
Spaces are limited, so make sure to fill out the sign-up form in the WhatsApp chat as soon as it drops! 🤿
