About Us

South Coast Divers is a Sports Diving Club whose origins date back over twenty years.At present we have around 50 active members based in Cork City & County, of all ages and all walks of life.

As a club, we place a strong emphasis on training and helping our members to improve their diving and obtain further qualifications through our organizing body BSAC. We have a large number of instructors who have obtained their qualifications while diving with our club and are always willing to pass on their skills.

We dive mostly on Sundays. Kinsale is our most frequent dive site, but we try to add as much variety as possible by venturing to other sites of which there are a good variety, e.g. Baltimore, Union Hall & Kerry. When the summer evenings permit, we dive on Thursday evenings, which offer a nice break in the week for those on a nine-to-five schedule.

Each year we organise trips away; three long weekends and a foreign adventure, most often up the west coast of Ireland. We also organise many social activities during the year, and help out with community activities.

Within the club there are a variety of different interests such as:

• Wreck diving

•Technical (nitrox)

•Photography

•Marine life

•Deep diving
