Joining Gulp Divers

How much does membership cost?
'Gulp Divers' has devised a fee structure that requires a minimum club administration fee with diving activities like training and trips being self-financed.

New members requiring entry-level training will pay an increased sum in the first year to cover pool and equipment hire, air, training materials and instruction.

All open water instruction costs for trainee and qualified divers such as dive site entrance fees, boat fees, equipment hire and air is not covered within membership fees and is payable by the student. Training is however provided by members for members, free of charge, with the only requirement that trainees pay for materials required and as a gesture of goodwill, the instructors' air costs (and a warm drink after the dive always goes down well too!).

We are fortunate that the majority of our members are qualified BSAC Open Water and Assistant Advanced Instructors and Sports Diver and above training and BSAC Skill Development Courses (SDCs) is provided both on a structured basis and subject to demand (see the training page for further details).

Medicals
Medical self-assessments are required strictly in accordance with BSAC rules. See the BSAC web site for detailed advice. Any required medical referrals are at members' expense.

What do you get for your money?
Full members receive benefits including a Monthly Magazine ("Dive"), £5,000,000 worth of worldwide Public Liability Cover against claims of negligence while taking part in Branch and BSAC activities, access to the BSAC regional coaching scheme, certain member only discounts at BSAC mail shop and membership of the UK governing body for the sport. Plus being a branch member you will be kept up to date on branch diving activities and be given the chance to participate.
