UBUC was established during the 1960/61 academic year. Considering that scuba gear was invented in 1943 by Jacques Cousteau, much has changed in 50 years! The club ranges from new trainees to seasoned divers whose expertise is vital to the smooth running of UBUC. One of our main goals is to provide affordable scuba diving training. Every year we train around 30 divers and provide a number of internationally recognised qualifications from beginner to advanced diver levels. We are affiliated to the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), and therefore issue qualifications according to BSAC standards. Over the last few years, we have gained a number of BSAC awards recognising our achievements in training. The club is overseen by 10 committee members. However, being such an active club means we rely on help from everyone to organise trips, help with equipment maintenance and assist with training. We especially encourage aspiring Dive Leaders to organise their own trips. We are also a friendly and sociable bunch! Our dedicated Social Secretaries runs most of our social events, including diving talks, boat pub crawls, trips, and much more! Anyone, however, can organise an event. BSAC Affiliation UBUC is a branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club. We are branch number 9160. Scuba Diving Training We offer extensive training for SCUBA diving, anywhere from beginner to advanced diver levels. We teach using the standards of our diving agency BSAC. See the Learn To Dive and Already Qualified pages for more information on the qualifications. In addition, we run Skills Development Courses (SDCs), Instructor Qualifications and also the occasional Freediving course.

Access Underwater Ltd are a specialist underwater, diving and confined space contractor with almost 100 years combined commercial diving experience. Our company was born from a desire to centralise and coordinate the extensive diving, confined space, and restricted access experience and capabilities of our founding team members into a single solution provider. With a wealth of underwater; offshore construction, inspection, fabrication, engineering, military, emergency service and recreational/technical/cave diving/instructional backgrounds, combined with an extensive list of television/film credits, we believed that our clients would be better served by having one solution provider for their underwater access requirements, trained to the most exacting industry standards and practiced in almost every aquatic environment imaginable. We are registered with the HSE as a Diving Contractor and comply fully with The Diving at Work Approved Codes of Practice for Inshore Commercial and Media Diving (revised December 2014) and The Diving At Work Regulations 1997. About Access Underwater Despite clients often becoming overwhelmed with high running costs for their facilities, pool, plant and filming budgets, there is still a growing demand for professional and creative services to address outside-the-box, diving and restricted access projects. Clients require a dedicated service provider who can bring together all of their service, maintenance, access and creative requirements, make them affordable and offer cost-saving solutions. Utilising skill-sets forged from an impressive portfolio of projects including marine salvage, offshore oil and gas, wind farms, media productions and commercial pool facilities, Access Underwater is proud to offer such a service through our friendly, knowledgeable and highly-skilled personnel. Our team members bring their skills and expertise to your project honestly, affordably and with the highest regard for safety. We maintain a loyal, satisfied and expanding client base and look forward to discussing how we can help bring solutions to your project. Access Underwater’s Vision We aspire to be the gold standard* in our industry and want our clients to feel completely at ease knowing that they are in the safest, most professional hands. We enjoy close working relationships with all of our clients, who know we are completely dedicated to the successful completion of their projects and exploring all possibilities to deliver solutions that are right for them individually. From the very beginning, we have put honesty and complete transparency at the heart of what we do and continue to ensure that we are not only offering the best value for money but also sensible and intelligent solutions that will themselves pay dividends in the long-term. Access Underwater’s Gold Standard We noticed that during the design process with our logo, the abbreviation by which we have become known by our clients (AU) is the symbol for gold in the periodic table of elements. With this in mind, we decided immediately that the Vitruvian Diver in our logo would be crowned with a gold standard diving helmet to represent this gold standard of workmanship.
