FAQS

For club dives, yes, they can if they consider joining SD. They can become a guest member. To do this, the diver must contact the Membership Officer and provide the information requested. For every dive or dive trip, the guest must also fill out the Guest Member Declaration. Guest Members are limited to seven days per insurance year.

For non-diving events, yes, but we will organise some free, temporary, non-diving membership for the event. We need everyone on a club dive/club dive trip to either be a member of SD (and to do that, you will need to join BSAC) or, if they are thinking about becoming a member, to follow the procedure to become a Guest Member.

The Club collects information from you through membership applications, our website and administration of Club events. Please read our GDPR Policy for more information. 

We want to be careful not to advise on insurance because we’re not qualified for that. But to us, the BSAC insurance looks excellent. Some of us also pay for DAN insurance because it covers us if we do any teaching and is perfect for deeper, technical diving. So it depends on what diving you intend to do. We suggest you look seriously at the BSAC insurance for your cover and see if it’s adequate. There are lots about insurance on the BSAC website.
