Dorking Snorkelling Club

Dorking Snorkelling Club Welcome to the Dorking Snorkelling Club, branch 3081 of the British Sub‐Aqua Club (BSAC). The session runs from 8:30am to 9:30am.

We meet at the Dorking Sports Centre, Reigate Road, Dorking, RH4 1SW on Sunday mornings. The club exists to teach young and old how to enjoy safely the sport of snorkelling, breath hold diving, allowing you to see the sights above and below the water. It's a great introduction to the fantastic world under the sea, which you can view from close to the surface. The club training is based on progre

ssing through a series of "learning how to" exercises. Theory lectures are given to complement practical sessions in the pool (much of this is similar to topics covered in Physics and Biology at school). Basic training is also given in first-aid, rescue and resuscitation techniques as part of the Snorkel lifesaver award. There are also opportunities to train as Instructors and Assistant Instructors. We run Assistant Instructor courses within the branch and facilitate attendance at regional instructor courses. Please visit our website for more information.

For 24 years, our club boat 'The Frog' has served the club and introduced countless young members to the sport. She acts as a safety craft and opens dive sites that shore access simply cannot reach.

We’re just back from our club weekend in Swanage . After such a warm calm summer this weekend was wet and windy, which meant we were confined to Swanage itself with poor viz. but we made the most of it! Thanks to everyone for making it fun! Special thanks to Kingston & Elmbridge Junior Snorkellers for the loan of their boat, while ours is being retubed.

Our senior group are just back from a long weekend exploring the snorkelling sites on the Isle of Wight- It’s reasonably close to home so a surprise we haven’t snorkelled there before! They say it was very good. Warm clear water and amazing underwater scenery with all the different seaweeds and seagrass. They saw an array of different fish plus cuttlefish and crabs. Lots of sealife a wonderful array of marine flora.
They couldn’t do the snorkels planned on the west of the island because it was too windy and rough, but for the most part it was either reasonably or very calm waters.Worth going again!

Great time down Bognor Rocks way today. Good hour long snorkel for all the gang. Wrasse and Common Stingray spotted!
