Merseyside Sub Aqua Club BSAC Branch 5

I have lived local for many years and stumbled onto the club thanks to my mum. I’ve been a member of the club since COVID restrictions lifted and I am nearing the end of my ocean diver qualification. The club is friendly and inviting and the training staff work tirelessly to help you achieve your goals. Once qualified I will carry on to do my sports diver course with the club. I have been quarry diving and have enjoyed a sea dive, the club works hard to give you as much diving experience as they can no matter what time of year it is. I would highly recommend the club to anyone looking to learn to dive or just wanting to try out a try dive.

Scuba diving and training at its very best!

My friend and I were both members ofthis club. Week after week we had different instructors who all taught things differently. After spending thousands of pounds on new equipmentthey plunged us from a warm swimmingpool into an October freezing quarry.It is an utter disgrace. The main man who is a pensioner is in charge and he has his own yacht but you haveto be a young female to get on it. You see people just arriving and being giveneverything because the boss wants theteen girls on his boat trips. PLEASE GOTO A WORLD RECOGNISED QUALIFICATION LIKE PADIBsac is garbage and burocratic.

If you want to learn to dive, or you are already certified and want to do more diving in the Liverpool area then this is the club to join. Plenty of opportunities to dive and progress within the club under the guidance of great instructors or extremely enthusiastic and passionate members. There is a real friendly atmosphere about the place and a whole host of not so wet activities. A brilliant club!

Merseyside Sub-Aqua club does not recognise the picture of the club painted by Mr Zhukov for the following reasons:1: All training is provided by a team of dedicated instructors to a uniform standard and monitored by a qualified Advanced Diving Instructor.2: Unfortunately, exploring the underwater world involves getting wet and by implication is colder than on dry land. Quarries are used extensively for more advanced diver training by all the training agencies, including BSAC and PADI, as it offers a safe and more controlled environment. I would add, that in October the water temperature was between 13/15 degrees and therefore as warm as the sea.3: Sadly I do not own a yacht, but rather a 6 meter RHIB fitted out and used exclusively for diving. It is neither a floating gin palace nor a magnet for young women, unless, of course, they are dressed in a full diving suit.4: Interestingly, enquiries show that Mr Zhukov has never been a member of the British Sub-Aqua Club and specifically Merseyside Sub-Aqua Club. We would, however, be prepared to meet this individual to discuss his concerns should he decide to reveal his true identity.
