Westhoughton club is very friendly and welcoming to new members both complete beginners and qualified divers from any association.
W.S.A.C. was founded in 2001 and has an active diving membership.
We run very regular training courses throughout the year and organise training dives almost every other weekend from March to December. Helping you to learn to scuba dive at your own pace.
The club organises many scuba diving trips around the UK and occasionally abroad, all members are welcome on these training dives and dive trips provided they have reached an appropriate level of experience and qualification,
(and if you are almost ready and still want to come, we’ll do our best to boost your training up to the required level in time!).
The club is open to all who wish to learn to scuba dive; regardless of age, sex, colour, creed or disability however the minimum age that we will accept for membership is 12 years, although in some cases we would prefer new members to be 14 years old. Our reasons for this are that Scuba Diving is an adventure sport and it involves some fairly heavy equipment.

A Try Dive is the perfect way to find out if scuba diving is for you and to ask any questions about our club and diving.
A Try Dive is a one hour session with one of our instructors who will take you into the pool for your first diving experience.

Already a diver?
If you have always wanted to learn to dive or are simply curious about scuba diving, then a Try Dive with Westhoughton Sub Aqua club is the perfect introduction!
In the safe confines of the pool, a BSAC Instructor will introduce you to the basic skills and equipment needed to experience the thrill of breathing underwater for the very first time. Try Dives cost £15.
A typical Try Dive session lasts about 45 minutes. It involves poolside tuition on diving techniques and equipment, followed by a scuba dive in our pool with a BSAC-qualified instructor.
