We are a small and friendly SCUBA diving club situated in the heart of London’s East End. We train every week in Bethnal Green in the pool at the famous York Hall.

Please take some time to look around our site to find out more about the club, the training we provide and the types of dive we offer to our members.

Perhaps you have tried scuba diving on holiday and got bitten by the dive bug.

Maybe you are a BSAC or PADI qualified diver and looking for a club to join.

Or you might be a complete beginner who has always been fascinated by the idea of "taking the plunge"

Whatever your dive level we can offer you a warm welcome at Hackney branch.

About Us

The club began life back in 1973, set up to offer meaningful activity to the youth of London's east end. Now 30 years later, not all our members can claim to be so youthful, as our gallery will attest, though some have been known to act like kids in a toyshop when diving a new wreck!

We have around 40 members, with quite an even spread of Trainees, Club and Sport Divers, together with an impressive handful of members who are Dive Leader qualified and above.

We meet every Monday at 8.30PM in the pool of York Hall, Bethnal Green, London; the famous boxing venue. York Hall is just a few minutes away from Bethnal Green tube station.

You’ll also find us taking surface refreshment after the pool session every Monday from 10PM in The Approach Tavern, just round the corner in Approach Rd, swapping tales from the deep.
