Subaqua (Medics)
Are you a budding Jacques Cousteau or even James Bond? Want to learn to dive for your elective or a holiday or have done it before and want to improve? Or do you just fancy having a go at scuba diving? Then join ICSM Sub-aqua club!
We meet every Monday evening for training at St Mary’s pool and always in a nearby pub afterwards (you’d be surprised how many there are!) for a drink, ok, usually more than one… The club comprises many previous students and staff members and of course students from all year groups. It is a great way of meeting people across the entire medical school (not to mention a great way of getting revision help from older years!).
We have trips to many sites particularly on the south coast including Plymouth, Portland, Horsea Island, Swanage, Stoney Cove and have had trips to Gozo and the Red Sea. Some members of the club have dived all over the world.
We offer free kit hire, cheap membership and free BSAC training; this makes the club very cheap, unlike most university diving clubs. If you are PADI qualified we can continue your training through the BSAC scheme.
So whatever your age or ability come and see us at Freshers’ Fair or check out our website. We offer free try-dives so just let us know which Monday evening you can come to at the start of term and we’ll make sure you can have a go!
