Cork Sub Aqua Club is a sports diving club whose origins date back over forty years. We have active members based in Cork City and County of all ages and all walks of life. As a club, we place a strong emphasis on training and helping our members to improve their diving and obtain further qualifications through our organising body Diving Ireland. We have a large number of instructors who have obtained their qualifications while diving with our club and are always willing to pass on their skills.
We dive each Sunday. Oysterhaven is our most frequent launching site, but we try to add as much variety as possible by venturing to other sites of which there are a good variety within reasonable driving distance, e.g. Baltimore, Union Hall, Kilcrohane or Cork harbour. During the summer, we dive on Wednesday evenings which offers a nice break in the week for those on a nine-to-five schedule.
Each year, we organise four trips away; three long weekends and one week, most often on the Beara and Iveragh peninsulas, though recently we ventured as far as Mayo. In recent years we have organised a regional weekend in July. We also organise many social activities during the year, and help out with community activities e.g. the Lee Swim
