Claiming student membership
To qualify for the DUSAC air money student rate, you must be a TCD student. However, the BSAC student membership fee applies for students in any college. For example, a student of UCD who is a dive leader pays €105 DUSAC air money, but only €40 BSAC membership. If you are claiming BSAC student membership, you must provide a photocopy of your student card.
