Sub Aqua

One of the largest dive-training clubs in the country.

The Sub Aqua Club offers training in all aspects of diving. Although affiliated to CFT the club recognises qualifications from most dive training organisations. The sport is open to all, with no previous experience necessary.

The club provides all equipment needed and provides training for complete beginners up to CMAS 1* (Open Water) standard. Training is offered through a series of lectures on dive theory with practical pool sessions every Tuesday night from September to February and qualifying dives in March. Members include a large number of qualified divers, and some of the most qualified instructors in Ireland, who lead the regular dives and weekends away! The club also offers underwater hockey on Friday nights in the on-campus pool.

Training (CMAS 1*) is offered on a lottery/raffle basis due to high demand each year. €15 membership fee covers a pizza/information night, and a Try-a-Dive in UCD Pool. Additional training costs follow with successful placement in the lottery.

We hope you decide to dive with the Sub-Aqua Club, it's fin-tastic fun!
