Leicester Underwater Exploration Club - LUEC

Leicester Underwater Exploration Club - LUEC Leicester's biggest and best Scuba Club offering Scuba training and dive trips throughout the year. (now MDE). Training had taken place at St.

Leicester Underwater Exploration Club (LUEC) was formed in 1958 by a small group of enthusiastic people who had discovered the new sport of SCUBA diving. Over the years the membership has changed somewhat but we retain some very long standing members. One of the earlier members was a director of the Midland Diving Company Ltd. The club remained independent at first, until eventually in 1967 it joi

ned the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) and became Branch No. 0321. Around this time underwater films were beginning to be shown on TV and this caused an upsurge in interest which boosted membership to around 120. Membership stayed around this mark rising to around 150 in 1976 where it stayed until the mid-1990's. Margarets Baths in Leicester until 1987 when the centre closed for refurbishment and new facilities were found for the club at Aylestone Leisure Centre until works were completed the following year. LUEC remained at St. Margarets until its close and subsequent demolition in 2001 when training was transferred back to Ayleston Leisure Centre and we remain there to this day.

🤿 Not just a dive club — but a community 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

When we’re not underwater, you’ll often find us out on the trails and park paths. Some of our members are seasoned runners, others have laced up their trainers for the first time (or some in a very long time!) this year— all coming together to stay healthy, social, and dive‑fit.

From touring local parkruns to taking part in races along the way, it’s about motivation, friendship, and supporting each other both above and below the surface.
Because diving isn’t just about the dives… it’s about the people you do them with 💙🤿
