By the end of the try dive you should know if its definitely for you. Sheffield Sub-Aqua Club is a private members club, and as such all new members must be approved by the Committee. This involves an informal chat with at least three members of the committee, usually over a drink at the Commercial Inn, Station Road on a Wednesday night. It gives you an opportunity to ask the committee members any
questions you may have. It also allows us to furnish you with important information about the club and the sport, and to ensure that scuba diving is the right sport for you and you are committed to finishing the training course. Once this is done, all that is left to do is fill the paper work, pay the appropriate fees and start your course. The total cost for a new member (new diver) is approximately £300.00 for the first year, which includes a training levy and is reduced after a year. Talk to our Treasurer about paying this in chunks through the year. If you are already a BSAC qualified diver joining from another club, you won't need to pay the Training Levy or for Training Packs (unless you intend to further your training with our club). If you are a diver qualified with a different agency (eg. PADI), ask the committee members during your informal chat about what cross-over training you may need, and about training fees etc.
