Essex University Sub Aqua Club about the centre

The Essex University Sub Aqua Club (EUSAC) serves as the official diving hub for the University of Essex community. Located in Colchester at the Students' Union in Wivenhoe Park, the club provides a structured environment for those looking to enter the sport of scuba diving.

Established in 2008, the club has spent years building a foundation for student divers. It operates as a dedicated space for both absolute beginners and those looking to formalise their skills through recognised certification pathways.

The club and its team

The club is organised around student participation and structured learning. It provides a pathway for newcomers to experience the sensation of breathing underwater through introductory dives before progressing to more formal training.

For those ready to commit to the sport, the club facilitates the Open Water course, allowing divers to move from curiosity to a recognised level of competence.
