No Training Pressures
All the excuses you need to get wet
Dive Rutland Club
At Dive Rutland, we’re more than just a dive training centre. Our aim isn’t only to train divers, but to create a friendly, inclusive environment where you can continue diving—whatever your experience level or background.
Our club is active, social, and made up of members from all walks of life and age groups. We dive regularly together, and all training agencies are welcome.
Put simply—our job is to facilitate your diving.
The Aim of Our Dive Club
The club is built to give every certified diver the opportunity to:
- Dive regularly with like-minded people
- Join organised trips and social events
- Make the most of an established diving community
All the infrastructure is already in place—you just need to use it.
We also recognise that not everyone in the water is a scuba diver. That’s why we offer a non-diver membership for freedivers, swimmers, mermaids, and snorkellers who want to be part of the community.
A Club That Gives Back
Dive Rutland Club operates on a not-for-profit basis.
Any money raised is reinvested back into the club to support:
- Club trips (including shared transport costs like diesel)
- Reduced rates on events
- Ongoing improvements for members
Each year, the club continues to grow and evolve—driven by the people in it.
What You Get as a Member
- Access to regular pool sessions
- Perfect for trying new equipment
- Getting comfortable before a trip
- Or simply enjoying time in the water
- Stoney Diving Sundays (at least monthly)
- Additional midweek diving through the warmer months
- A network of divers to dive, travel, and socialise with
The Main Goal
The primary aim is simple:
Have fun, dive more, and be part of something.
The images on this page showcase just a small selection of our trips and events—they’ll give you a real feel for what being part of the Dive Rutland Club is all about.
