Dive into a new hobby: Scarborough Sub Aqua Club to host special open night

People looking to explore what lies beneath the waves of the Yorkshire coast are being invited to take the plunge at a dedicated open night hosted by the Scarborough Sub Aqua Club.

The club will open its doors on Sunday, October 4, from 7:00 PM, welcoming complete beginners, keen snorkellers, and anyone curious about scuba diving to their unique headquarters at 25 St Mary’s Street, Scarborough (YO11 1QW).

The evening promises a hands-on introduction to the sport, featuring interactive sessions where visitors can inspect modern scuba equipment and discover the wide array of underwater adventures available right on the Yorkshire coast —including local wreck diving.

For those ready to step out of their comfort zone, the club is offering discounted Try Dive or Snorkel sessions for £20, which can be booked on the night. Attendees will also have the chance to enter an exclusive raffle to win a Try Dive experience for £1, with the winner set to be revealed before the end of the event.

Beyond diving opportunities, the open night gives the public a chance to explore the clubhouse and speak to the welcoming members of the group. Visitors can grab a drink or snack from the fully licensed bar while speaking directly to the friendly training team and experienced local divers.

A spokesperson for Scarborough Sub Aqua Club said:

"Whether you’ve never tried diving before or you’re already an experienced snorkeller, everyone is welcome. You don’t need any previous experience—just bring your curiosity and come and meet us." Visit https://www.ssacdiver.co.uk/ for more information.
