UBUC

Welcome to UBUC

Ever wondered what it is like to glide weightlessly through an underwater world, exploring wrecks, reefs underwater forests and caves? Ever wanted to swim alongside fish and dolphins, to play with seals or hunt for rare sea horses?

Founded in 1960, the University of Bristol Underwater Club has a long history of providing an affordable, friendly and exciting diving experience to all. From complete beginner to advanced diver the club has something for everyone, providing the opportunity to expand upon your experience, gain new qualifications and most importantly explore the exciting underwater world, both here in the UK and abroad.

Our facilities and training pool are conveniently located in the Student's Union. Our stores are situated in the underground car park. You can find us in the Lansdown pub in Clifton every Tuesday from 8:30pm.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The underground car park is now closed to the public and can only be accessed during training times. If you need access to stores please contact us.

For upcoming dive trips please check the calendar.

For any questions or general enquires please contact the the committee.
