About Club

Born in 1993, UCD Sub-Aqua has grown from small beginnings and we are now a large ever-expanding club with almost 100 members. We have a strong focus on training with a large influx of new trainees every September. There is a huge input from club members in all aspects of running the club and we can now instruct on all Irish Underwater Council training courses.

Diving is a non-competitive sport that involves snorkelling and diving all over ireland. Scuba diving offers a unique and personal glimpse of life beneath the sea. Training comprises a series of lectures on dive theory with practical pool sessions every Tue night from September to Feb. There are Dublin bay snorkels throughout the winter as well as weekends away all year round. Weekly (midweek and weekend) Dublin bay wreck and scenic diving trips are organised from March to September. We dive on all Irish coasts, especially the western seaboard where there is great diving for all levels. The club also offers training in all aspects of diving and once you have completed your 1* qualification, the world is your oyster and you can expand your dive experience by training for your 2**, 3***, Monituer/Instructor, VHF radio licence, diver medic, Fetac boat handling certificate or rescue diver.
