Welcome to Sub Aqua (Scuba Diving)
We’re LUUSAC, Leeds University Union Sub Aqua Club, and we’ve been getting Leeds students underwater since 1962.
Whether you’ve never put on a scuba tank before or you’re already an experienced diver, there’s a place for you in the club. We’re a BSAC club, but we welcome qualified divers from all recognised training organisations, including PADI, SSI and others.
Alongside diving, LUUSAC has a huge social side, with weekly socials, club nights, trips around the UK and an annual overseas diving trip.
🤿 Training
Complete beginner? We can teach you from scratch and qualify you as a BSAC Ocean Diver.
Already qualified? We can help you continue your training towards BSAC Sports Diver and beyond.
We also offer opportunities to develop additional diving skills, including drysuit training, and support members who want to continue progressing through further BSAC qualifications.
Our regular pool training sessions take place at The Edge swimming pool during term time, with timings for 2026/27 to be confirmed.
We also use Capernwray Diving Centre for open-water training and pleasure diving throughout the year.
🌊 Diving & Trips
Being based in Leeds definitely doesn't stop us diving.
Throughout the year we organise pleasure diving trips around the UK, with recent destinations including:
- Swanage
- Farne Islands
- St Abbs
- Capernwray
And once a year we take things somewhere a little warmer with our Easter overseas trip. Recent LUUSAC trips have included Lanzarote and Turkey.
Whether you're interested in wrecks, wildlife, UK diving, warm-water diving or simply getting more time underwater, there are plenty of opportunities to dive throughout the year.
🍻 Socials
You absolutely do not have to spend every Wednesday underwater to be part of LUUSAC.
Our main weekly social starts on Wednesday evenings from 8–10pm at The Eldon, before heading to Rita's from 10pm–midnight, followed by Mischief.
We also run more relaxed pub socials after theory sessions, alongside plenty of other events throughout the year.
And, of course, there are the LUUSAC classics like our Christmas Meal and Summer drinks.
