If you have a passion for scuba, or just want to learn more, you've come to the right place!
Central Scotland Dive Club is one of the country's most active and friendly diving clubs, and we welcome divers of all abilities and experience, from complete beginner to technical diver.
We are currently based in Hamilton, but attract members from all over Central Scotland and we dive most weekends – all year round. Did you know that Scotland has one of the best diving environments in the world – and we like to make the most of it!
Dive Training
From October to the end of March, our Dive Training Lectures are held at the new and luxurious Fairhill Lifestyle Centre on Fridays at 7pm; followed by Pool Dive Training Sessions at Hamilton Water Palace from 9:00 until 10:00 pm.
Open Water Diving
In addition, C-Divers have an active Dive Calendar most weekends, with shore or boat, wreck or scenic diving on the west and east coasts of Scotland. Also, each year we usually venture abroad once or twice.
Our diving is all about enjoyment and safety too, and C-Divers is an independent member of the UK Sub-Aqua Association, which provides certified diving courses and insurance.
We welcome divers with qualifications from any agency including BSAC*, ScotSAC*, PADI*, NAUI*, SSI* and CMAS*. We are fortunate to have a good pool for our training, and because of our facilities and experience, members come from far and wide. You’ll make friends from every walk of life and now over a quarter of our members are female – including three of our instructors.
Join C-Divers today!
All our diver training courses are fully-recognised SAA*, CMAS* and EFR* international courses. We have six full Open Water Instructors and four Club Instructors, so you won’t be short of help and advice.
C-Divers courses are tailored to YOUR needs, with safety and experience paramount.
