O2DIVE was formed in 2001 by a group of keen amateur divers. The Club is affiliated to the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) but is open to members of any other diving organisation (most notably PADI). The Club is relatively small but provides a friendly and supportive environment for newly qualified and more experienced divers. Recently (March 2010) the club had 4 people trained as Snorkelling Instructors and has currently increased (Nov 2010) the number of Diving Instructors available to train new members.

Communications
O2DIVE has an e-mail group that allows Club members to keep in touch with each other easily. This group also allows the Club to advertise diving and social events, equipment for sale, meetings etc. .
Members who wish to publish information on this website are invited to submit material such as reference material you may have collected, events to go in the club calendar, links to useful websites or even if you have some diving related kit to advertise. Contact Ronny if you wish to submit anything or have suggestions for the website.
DIVE magazine
Dive magazine is an independently edited and published world class full colour diving magazine contracted to BSAC to be its journal. Besides a much-appreciated broad spectrum of regular departments, DIVE articles cover all aspects of diving with regular equipment, travel and technical reviews. Members receive the magazine monthly as part of the membership package, keeping them up to date with BSAC developments and happenings in the diving world in general.
