Clydebank Sub Aqua Club 65th Anniversary Year

Clydebank Sub Aqua Club was born in October 1961, so 2026 marks our 65th Anniversary Year!! We are hoping to mark this special event with several activities throughout the year. Our annual pilgrimage to the Sound of Mull in August, organised by Gordon Anderson, will be extra special this year. In October we are planning to celebrate 65 years with a Dinner or Dinner/Dance for current and former members of the Club. Details will be sent out when finalised.

We have several other ideas for celebratory events for Club members, but these are still in the very early stages of planning and logistics, but we hope to provide details to members during 2026.  Please click the tab to our 65th Birthday page on the website.

Around the coast of Scotland, the waters are full of many varieties of amazing and colourful life. From the delicate, sensitive Fan-worm to colourful Cuckoo Wrasse and Ballan Wrasse to wary lobsters and inquisitive Seals. There are the wrecks of Scapa Flow in Orkney covered now in marine life, the amazing submarine tunnels and gulleys around St. Abbs and Eyemouth in the south-east, the Moray Firth in the north-east with its whales and dolphins which you might be lucky enough to see, the rugged and fjord-like sea lochs on the west coast where you can nearly always dive regardless of the weather and then there are the Western Isles such as Jura, Skye, Mull, Coll, Tiree, Rhum, Eigg and Muck and finally but by no means least-St.Kilda.

You've probably seen the incredible underwater documentaries on TV made by Sir David Attenborough, Paul Rose, Steve Backshall, Monti Halls, or if you are a more "mature" person, Jacques Cousteau, Hans & Lotte Hass documentaries and "Sea Hunt" with Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson. The waters around Scotland, as well as the whole UK, also contain colourful fish, exotic looking soft corals and curious "still life".
 

Clydebank divers regularly visit our local sites in Loch Long, Loch Fyne, Loch Leven, the Sound of Jura, the Sound of Mull, and the Oban area, as well as the other locations around Scotland mentioned above.

You can be part of all this by learning to Scuba Dive with

 Clydebank Sub Aqua Club. 

Of course it doesn't end there. Having learned to Scuba Dive with Clydebank Sub Aqua Club, and gained some experience, you can explore other great diving areas of the World, such as the Caribbean Sea, the Maldives, the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Far East and the Australian Great Barrier Reef plus many other exciting places.

ALL of the photographs on the first eight pages of this website have been taken in Scottish waters, so please browse our Website.
