"Under water, man becomes an archangel. From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free."
Jacques Yves Cousteau.

and welcome to the web pages of the Bedford Scuba Divers.

You may have already guessed from our name that we're a Diving club. We are based in the centre of Bedford and are affiliated to the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) .

If you have never dived before and are interested in taking it up, we can offer 'Try Dives' and a range of courses from entry level upwards. Details of these may be found on the Training page.

If you are already a qualified diver and are looking for some like-minded people to dive with our schedule of activities such as trips, skills development courses and social events can be found on our Newsletters page.
Although we are a BSAC affiliated club we recognise qualifications from a number of other agencies such as PADI, SAA and SSAC and some of our instructors hold additional teaching qualifications with some of those other agencies.
If your previous experience of diving has been on holiday in sunny lands you may well find that British waters have a lot to offer at much less cost.
