DUSAC

Who are we?

Dublin University Sub-Aqua Club is one of the biggest, longest established and most active scuba diving clubs in Ireland. We’re also a friendly & sociable club with a great mix of people and a packed events calendar.

As an award-winning branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), we can give you all the skills you need for scuba diving, and qualifications that are recognised worldwide.

Based in Trinity College, we dive throughout the year in Dublin Bay, all around Ireland, and abroad. To see where we’ve dived and what we’ve seen, have a look at our dive guide and gallery.
