Galway Sub Aqua Club

Galway Sub Aqua Club GSAC is a scuba diving club based in Galway city, Ireland with members all over the county. GSAC is a scuba diving club based in Galway, Ireland.

We are affiliated to Diving Ireland (aka CFT) and CMAS one of the largest international diving organisations in the world. We dive every Sunday all year round, plus every Wednesday from April to October. We also organise several weekends away during the year to sites all around the country, mostly on bank holiday weekends. The club takes on and trains new members every year starting in late Septem

ber. We also have a comprehensive "crossover" programme for divers with existing qualifications from a range of other diving organisations. Situated on the west coast we have many top class dive sites within close driving distance. Diving with GSAC is a cooperative effort - nobody gets paid, everybody pitches in. So aside from the diving you'll very quickly find yourself in the centre of things; launching and recovering boats, filling your own bottles and generally involved in all aspects of the club. The weekends away are always great craic, as well as great diving. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, do drop us a line using the Contact form on our website. Or follow us here on Facebook to see what we're up to.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Pat Bergin, father of Orla and father-in-law of Conor. Pat was a monumental figure both within our club and the wider diving community. He was a member of GSAC, a former club president, an active member of the hyperbaric chamber team and also served as NDO of Diving Ireland. Pat was a true pioneer of the sport and he will be sadly missed by friends and family alike. Funeral Arrangements:

Saturday, 4th July : Requiem Mass will be celebrated for Pat on arrival at the Galway Cathedral at 9:30am. Following Mass, Patrick will be laid to rest in Rahoon cemetery

I’m really late getting this post up from the wkd of the 14th June! We headed to Boffin and had two fantastic dives. We did our interval on Boffin and met a lovely gang of divers that were there for the week, that had towed two boats all the way from Aberdeen! .

We headed off to Mayo for the long wkd. The weather/swell didn’t play ball over the wkd but we pulled out a couple of savage dives. Based in Belmullet we ventured up to Dun Briste for a dive. Excellent vis, the colour and life on the dive was fantastic. We also nabbed a great dive off Horse Island. Lots of life and a lovely canyon at the end of the dive. In between the dives we had plenty of exploring and basking shark spotting from the shore. All in all an excellent weekend away!
