WEST WITS SUB AQUA CLUB
History:
The club was founded in 1985 with founder members Louis van der Schyff and Louis de Klerk. Due to better facilities which became available at the Elandsrand Swimming Pool, the club moved and set up base at Elandsrand. The Aqua Club was then “adopted” by Anglo American at that time the owner of Elandsrand and renamed as WestGold Sub Aqua
Club. After Harmony took control over Elandsrand and Deelkraal, the club had to re-locate once more. Western Levels Village swimming pool was then identified and the WestGold Sub Aqua Club set up base where it currently operates from. It was again renamed as West Wits Sub Aqua Club and then privatized. From the start the club was SAUU / CMAS orientated and all students were trained as SAUU and later as CMAS divers. Recently NAUI was added as a training facility. All the Instructors in the club are doing training after hours – so instruction is of a high quality as the guys doing it are doing it for the love and fun of it!
