Oxford Scuba Diving Club

Category: Forthcoming

Upcoming major dive trips which the club is organising will be posted here. We go diving as often as possible and not all one-day or weekend trips will make it onto the website. All trips are posted in the clubhouse for members to sign up to, on a first-come first-served basis. Some trips require a desposit to be paid to secure a place, but many are conducted on trust, especially when we dive from club boats. 

  • Dive Schedule 2015

    We welcome BSAC divers to join us, space permitting, on our dive boat Endeavour (for insurance reasons we cannot host non-BSAC divers: although if you join either our branch, another branch or BSAC Direct you can dive with us). Below are our planned dives for 2015, departing from Weymouth marina (except the IOW trip in July). If you are interested in joining a dive please use the link to contact the relevant dive manager who will be able to give you more information / reserve you a spot on the boat.

    Regarding depths: most days there will be one deeper dive and one shallower dive. So if you only want to do the shallower dive then that may be possible (subject to space on the boat). Contact the dive manager to find out if they are happy with this.

    We are also planning expeditions outside of Weymouth – details of those will be posted on the website in due course (currently weeks in Plymouth in Devon, Porthkerris in Cornwall and a Red Sea liveaboard are planned).

    TO RESERVE YOUR PLACE CONTACT THE RELEVANT DIVE MANAGER:

  • Dive Oxon 2012 – Back to Weymouth

    Dive Oxon 2012 – Back to Weymouth

    dive oxon19th-20th May 2012

    Once again we have our annual get-together with clubs from across Oxfordshire to dive from Weymouth. 

    After last years partially successful (despite the weather) weekend, we are at it again! This year we are going back to Weymouth, camping at the popular East Fleet Campsite where we have a great relationship with the owners.

    We hope to have lots of you attending for some great diving from many different platforms (including our new hard boat) and some excellent socialising.

    As ever we hope to make this an inexpensive weekend open to divers of all experience and qualification, so bring the family.
