Welcome!
Welcome to the UCC Sub Aqua Club website. We are the scuba diving and snorkelling club of University College Cork.
If you have always wanted to scuba dive, then consider learning with UCC SAC. We are open to all students of UCC (both undergraduate and postgraduate). Regardless of your level of scuba diving experience, we can give you the skills and qualifications that let you dive worldwide.
Join our mailing list and follow us on Twitter and Facebook (coming soon!) for regular updates on our activities.
Information Night
UCC SAC will hold an information & open night at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 27th September in Boole 1. A brief presentation on the club’s activities and how to join will be given and club members will be on hand to answer any and all questions you may have.
Please join us at the presentation and for a pint or two in the Old Bar afterwards.
Training 2011/2012
Training will commence on Tuesday 4th October at 8 pm in Kane B10A followed by the pool fitness test at 10.30 pm in the Mardyke Arena. Don’t forget your swimming togs!
Don’t be scared about the fitness test! You are only required to continuously swim 200 m (eight lengths) front stroke and 50 m (two lengths) backstroke and hold your breath underwater for 30 s within five minutes of finishing the 250 m swim. The swim does not need to be completed within a set time limit.
For practical pool sessions, trainees are required to have their own mask, snorkel, fins and booties. The club can order these for you at a total cost of €125. You must provide your order and payment at the lecture on 4th October. For more details, check out the training page.
