Welcome!
Sovereign Divers are the Eastbourne branch of BSAC (British Sub-Aqua Club) A lively diving club diving mainly off the Eastbourne coastline; we are fortunate to have access to some of the best wreck dives in the English channel.
We meet up every Tuesday evening at around 8:00 in the Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club bar to socialise and plan for the next week's diving as well as conducting training, planning social events, trips away etc.

All are welcome - for a chat about what we can offer, answers to any questions that you may have and maybe a pint of decent beer or a coffee, if you are so inclined! there are directions to reach here on the Yacht Club website (link above)
We have excellent club facilities for use by our members, including the very well equipped 6.8m RIB 'Sovereign Diver', which we run out of Sovereign Harbour with the advantages of very easy access and free car parking.
In 2008 we purchased a new 'state of the art' gas station with banked air, as well nitrox and trimix facilities. Air is available free of charge to all members, and nitrox and trimix at a minimal cost.
We also have a wide range of scuba training equipment available to any of our members for training or loan purposes. Please click here for more information on our training.
Make some new friends!
If you are not already a certified scuba diver we would be delighted to train you to become a safe diver in a friendly club environment, to either BSAC or PADI qualification. If you are a qualified diver then please note that we welcome all divers trained by any agency, not just those who've trained with the British Sub-Aqua Club (e.g. PADI, CMAS or SSAC) who want to just go diving, join a club of like-minded individuals or perhaps continue their training.
Our club instructors are registered and approved by BSAC, PADI or both! We can also arrange training to IANTD level. So you can be sure of the best professional instruction avaliable.
Club membership provides:
- Full BSAC membership (includes BSAC insurance and monthly magazine)
- Eastbourne Sub-Aqua Club membership
- Free use of the clubs compressors 7 days a week
- Access to BSAC diver and boat handling training courses
- Access to the boat diving agenda
Come diving!
We are always looking for new club members so if you are interested either in learning to dive, progressing your diving training level or in going diving around the Eastbourne area, why not come and visit us?
We dive as often as weather (and other commitments like family & work!) allow throughout the season, usually April to the end of September (although some hard cases dive all the year round!) We also organise dive trips to various locations on a fairly regular basis, to places like the Red Sea in Egypt and Scapa Flow.
So, if you would like to meet up with us and discuss what you would like from a dive club why not contact us so that we can let you know all that we have to offer? email us.
