Most of the club's SCUBA diving trips make use of our own boat called called Blue Hotel - a Humber Destroyer 5.8m RHIB with 115hp engine capable of taking up to six divers plus two crew at a time, which is the most cost effective way to get out on the water and without needing to book several months in advance (particularly important when you can't predict the British weather more than a few days ahead).  However, we also usually book several hard-boat charters throughout the year to locations further from home or where it's not practical to take our RHIB, and we try to ensure that there is a good mix of diving for all kinds of interests and experiences from newly qualified to advanced technical.

While training is important to the club, whether it be for learning new skills or maintaining existing competencies, the end goal of all this is to get people out and go diving. The club tries to organise day or weekend dive trips throughout the year (no such thing as a "diving season") and suitably qualified members will often also arrange their own ad-hoc trips with buddies from the club.

Then there's usually one or two week-long expeditions each year to dive locations further afield or abroad that are either organised by the club or simply by a couple of members arranging a holiday together. In recent year's we've had club expeditions to Northern Ireland, the Orkney Islands, Republic Of Ireland and frequently to the Red Sea. Additionally on holidays, club members have dived off Australia, California, France, Iceland, the Maldives, Norway, Malta, the Bahamas, Cyprus,...

While UK coronavirus infection control measures have been relaxed or rescinded, the illness can result in a potentially long term or permanent disqualifying condition for SCUBA divers. In this sense, the impact on club members could be considered higher than for participants of other sporting activities.

Therefore the club is maintaining some measures to reduce the risk of exposure to coronavirus for its members such as restricting numbers attending pool sessions and the continued use of masks in the sports centre building when not on the poolside. It is currently not possible to meet us in person at our club evenings except for pre-arranged try dive sessions.  If you are interested in finding out more about the club please e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.

In normal times, the club’s pool sessions are Wednesday evenings from 9:00pm till 10:00pm at Brockworth Sports Centre (Mill Lane, Brockworth, GL3 4QF - next to Millbrook Academy) and afterwards we would often be found socialising at The Cheeserollers pub (Shurdington Road, Shurdington, GL51 4XJ).
