Club Pool
Free entry to our on site, heated dive pool during our club Sundays which run on the Sunday of every second and fourth full weekend of the month (2pm to 4.30pm). Don’t worry if you don’t have your own equipment, that’s free to club members too, saving you £15 every time you jump in. If you would like to introduce a friend to diving we also offer a free tasters session for club member family and friends (pre-booking is required).
Club Barbecue
Yeap, you read that right. We host a Club Aquasport barbecue at least once a month throughout the warmer months, usually on the fourth Sunday to coincide with the club pool. These are at the centre starting at 3pm. This is free for all of our club members and you can even bring family and friends along with you (please do let us know in advance if you are bringing a guest or two).
Free air Fills
Limited to two fills per visit unless otherwise arranged, but otherwise an unlimited number of fills throughout the year.

Membership may also be granted to non affiliated divers, regardless of qualification, who have shown willingness to become involved with the the centre and the club.
Membership is not open to divers who are actively involved or affiliated with other dive clubs, schools or shops. Such divers however will not be barred from diving events arranged by Aquasport International as set out in the guidelines of the individual events.
Cost of Membership and Methods of Payment
The cost of membership is £120 per year. You can pay half yearly or annually by cash or card at the shop. Monthly subscriptions are in full and there is no concession for ‘missed months’. If you drop out from the club for 12 months or more membership is renewed as a new member. Otherwise payment is in full of back fees.
Kit Hire
The regular Thursday club skive dives are running in full swing at Dosthill for both club members and non members. £6 gets you in, £5 with tank and weights and £20 (£10 for club members) for a full set of kit. Dosthill now opens earlier in the afternoon (call them for exact opening times) but we still aim to be there for 6.30pm. Then it’s off to the pub for apres dive!
PLEASE CALL THE CENTRE IN ADVANCE AND LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING FOR EQUIPMENT AND WE’LL HAVE IT READY FOR YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
We also offer Diving Workshops on both the Sunday pool sessions and on the Thursday and Friday club dives. These will be free to any member of our club and will consist of sessions aimed at improving your general diving skills, from tweaking your buoyancy to deploying an SMB or practicing free ascents and descents. The level of skills practiced will vary with each divers qualification. Open Water Divers will benefit form the basic skills, whereas Rescue Divers can practice lifts and searches.
