Welcome to Trafford Sub Aqua Club, BSAC Branch 584

TSAC celebrated 40 years of diving in 2013 and are one of the most active scuba diving clubs in Manchester.  We offer BSAC training for new divers who join the club as well as welcoming experienced divers from all disciplines who want to do more diving or extend their skills. Based in the South of Manchester we have members from across Greater Manchester, Trafford and Cheshire at all levels of diving.

We are an active club and dive regularly throughout the year both in the UK and overseas. We have more than 15 club instructors including advanced level instructors so can offer training at many different skill levels. We also have 2 RIBS so can offer boat handling training.

If you’re already qualified and looking for a club we would be happy to tell you more about us. We meet every Wednesday at Urmston Leisure Centre at 9PM so you can always come along to have a chat and find out more about us.

If you’re thinking of taking up diving and would like to give it a go, or receive more information about it, please get in touch. Drop us an email and we can take it from there. We’ll happily discuss a training programme, or what you can do if you are already trained and joining us either from another BSAC club, or from another dive organisation.

About this time of year many of us decide that it’s time for a break from diving until the warmer weather returns. It is this point that it is imperative to clean and store equipment properly in order for it to be ready for next season.  Kit drying after washing...

Why go to the Shetlands for Diving?

To get to the Shetlands for a TSAC member is long and drawn out. You can fly from Manchester, but the usual route is via ferry. A seven hour drive to Aberdeen followed by an overnight ferry to Lerwick, basically a twenty four hour journey. Cost of return ferry (including...

TSAC Annual BBQ (the first one)

Covid has hit everyone, including divers. It does seem odd that an activity where you are essentially a sealed unit was hit, but hit it was. This meant that training, dive trips and the social aspects of the club have all been affected. To bring the club back together the...

Rathlin Island Diving

A liveaboard in Egypt was on the cards but, as with everything, it was red listed so postponed to next year. This left a few spare days in the calendar so what to do? Fairly obvious, find somewhere else to dive. It had to be the UK, it had to...

Resuming in-water rescue breath training

The teaching of in-water Rescue Breaths (RB) is integral to diver training at Sports Diver and above. BSAC advice has been that this is not currently achievable safely whilst following the Covid-19 guidance. However, as the restrictions are slowly being eased, it is understandable that students will once again wish to...
