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.

St Abbs, Sept’ 2019 – “Lobsters, lobsters and yet more lobsters (and some dolphins)”

St Abbs, June 2019 – “And then there were five!”

A weekend in St Abbs

Meeting early on the day you travel up is a good idea. Get the four hour journey over with, beat rush-hour, unpack, then kit up for a shore dive in the evening. That's just what Steve and I did with an easy walk out over a rising tide to take...

Shore Dive at Porth Ysagden

There aren't many times I've set off for a days diving at half four in the afternoon - in fact I can say this was the first. We all squeezed into one (large) car and with Steve Gresty driving we were soon leaving Sale. It took us about two and...
