About the Club

Club portrait - Jervis Bay, 2007

Welcome to the Sydney Sub Aqua Club. The club was formed in 2004 as a non-profit diving club and is a BSAC affiliated branch. SSAC is not tied to any commercial dive shop and provides members with regular diving at a non-commercial price in a true club environment. We welcome divers from other affiliations such as PADI and SSI - if you have your open water dive certificate and want to expand your diving you'll be more than welcome.

Our diving is varied with many different sites and vessels. Regular dives are arranged around the Sydney area and the club also has regular trips further afield in Australia and worldwide. We're a mix of open water, technical, rebreather, photographer, wreck and wildlife divers so there's always something for everyone.

The club has plenty of enthusiastic instructors who happily provide their services and skills in a non commercial environment. Training courses are offered regularly for a range of levels. Trainees can do their dive training at their own pace and with no extra diving costs.

If you've decided to join us you'll find the information and forms you need on the membership page.

Finding Us

Map to The Sussex Hotel

We meet for beer and $10 steaks from 7pm every Wednesday night at The Sussex Hotel (formerly Moretons) on Sussex Street between Darling Harbour and the CBD.

Members and guests get together to talk about diving and plan the future calendar of events. These nights are seen as a general gathering of friends and are a great chance for anyone who's considering joining the club to say hello and find out more about us.

If you can't make it to the pub you can always email anyone on the committee who'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
