Bermondsey Surdoc BSAC is a branch of the largest sport diving club in the world and the governing body of the sport in the UK, the British Sub-Aqua Club. BSAC sport diving qualifications are recognised and respected around the world.

The branch was formed in 1956, within 2 years of the creation of the BSAC, and has the number 42, and it is one of the most established branches in London.

It is based in Rotherhithe and is the only BSAC branch in the London Borough of Southwark. It meets every Wednesday at the Seven Island Leisure Centre from 8.00pm for lectures and from 9:00pm for pool training.

Branch members meet regularly and is one of a handful of branches in the South East of London that still regularly maintains a swimming pool for training. It also has an active dive programme that generally runs from March through to November (weather permitting).

Our diving is largely from hardboats that are hired either for a single day, in places such as Littlehampton or Eastbourne, or for two days if we travel further such as Weymouth. Longer expeditions of a week (or more) will be further away still, with locations as diverse as Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands or to the Red Sea in either Egypt, Israel or Jordan.
