West Cumbria Branch (B0094) is affiliated nationally to the British Sub-Aqua Club, which was founded in 1953 and locally to SASRA, which exists to provide sporting, social and recreational facilities and opportunities for its members.. The Branch benefits from a wide range of volunteer divers and meets weekly in Whitehaven. As with many Diving Clubs, the Branch no longer benefits from direct access to a swimming pool for sheltered water lessons or try-dives. As such the Branch can only accommodate qualified divers from either BSAC or the Professional Association of Diving Instructors. The Branch has BSAC qualified instructors and can provide continuation of diver qualifications through BSAC’s Diver Training Programme and Skills Development Courses. The branch will also support cross-over training from PADI to BSAC. The branch has limited equipment for use, but does have several compressors and a RIB, which are all used on a regular basis. The Branch dives at local sites in West Cumbria, together with organised trips both nationally and internationally. The Diving Branch has links with other BSAC Branches both locally and more widely within the UK.
