NEW Club Diver Manual.

Welcome to the SAA Website

The Sub Aqua Association (SAA) is an association of independent dive clubs. SAA member clubs maintain their independence while maintaining the national standards of the SAA and benefiting from regional and national support.

If you want to learn to scuba dive then your local SAA Club will be able to teach you to dive and provide a group of like minded divers to dive with in the future.

If you are already a qualified diver and just want to go diving then your local SAA club will recognize qualifications from all the major training organizations. SAA divers are famous for being the friendliest divers in the world.

The SAA has a policy of working with related organisations and has active relationships with CMAS, RNLI, BDSG, CDA, MCA and many others.
