Welcome!
Sovereign Divers are the Eastbourne branch of BSAC (British Sub-Aqua Club) We are a lively diving club diving mainly off the Eastbourne coastline; we are very fortunate to have easy access to some of the best wreck dives in the English channel. If you are a 'Holiday' diver and only go warm water diving then you don't know what you are missing!
The club meet up every Tuesday evening at around 8:00 in the Eastbourne District General Hospital Social Club to socialise and plan for the next week's diving as well as conducting dive training, planning social events, trips away etc.
