About Calshot Divers
Despite being a BSAC branch, and operating within the BSAC guidelines, we welcome members from any training organisation. You are welcome to join and dive with us using whatever qualification you may have within the limits of your certification - we can however only teach BSAC courses, so you may want to "cross over" at some point to continue your skills development with us.
The branch owns its own 5.8m RIB, a towing vehicle (assuming it passes its MOT again!) and the full range of O2, flares and radio etc., that you would expect. The branch normally has between 20 and 30 members depending on the weather! Members' interests also vary considerably, some are into historical research, others love wrecks while others just like to see the underwater creatures and take photos.
We are also quite lucky to have a fair number of Dive Leaders and Instructors, so you'll be well looked after by us.
We meet every Wednesday evening from 8.30pm at The Anchor, Eling (SO40 9GD) to discuss and plan dive events.

Notes:
COVID-19 is obviously impacting everyone, but with the lockdown of dive sites, boats and pools, and the current BSAC guidance on diving, we are seriously restricted on our activities.
Please do get in touch via email, phone or Facebook, as it's important that we keep in contact if there's to be any hope of going diving later this year.
