We're an award winning branch of BSAC based in Dundee. We have an active diver training program and a full calendar of events planned for throughout the year.
We welcome new divers, whether new to the sport or previously qualified under any major agency. We are a club; that means we not a school, we are not a shop and we are not for profit. We are run by the members - for the members. This philosophy is at the very heart of DSAC. We regularly run Try Dives in a pool for non-divers interested in trying scuba. These dives are run by fully qualified and experienced instructors. If you wish to have a go, drop us an email [email protected].

I got in trouble for not posting Ray Trueland last photo… 😄 So here are his recent ones!
A fantastic day exploring beneath the waves! 🌊🤿
From an amazing diver in action to a spectacular firework sea anemone bursting with colour, a beautiful shoreline to finish the day, and a gorgeous little starfish to top it all off. Nature never disappoints! 🐠⭐
Hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed finding them! 💙

What a brilliant day of diving at Loch Fyne! 🌊🤿
Les, Ray, Caitlin, Vic, Jo and Suzy all enjoyed some fantastic fun dives in great company.
The marine life didn’t disappoint either—we were lucky enough to spot an octopus, catshark, squat lobster, wrasse, endless crabs, and so much more! 🐙🦈🦞🦀
A huge congratulations to Jo, who celebrated her 50th dive today! 🎉👏 A fantastic milestone and one to be proud of.
Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun and memorable day. Here’s to many more adventures underwater!

🦐 Squat lobster
🐚 Queen scallops doing their lovely little dance

What a fantastic day at the A Frames! 🌊🤿
Alistair, Heather, Les, Aaron, and Suzy all enjoyed a fun-filled few dives. The visibility was incredible, and the marine life was absolutely buzzing!
We spotted squat lobsters, scallops, gobies, dragonets, a variety of crabs, fireworks anemones, sea pens… and that’s only the start. Every dive seemed to reveal something new!
Days like these are what diving is all about. Can’t wait to get back in! 💙🐠
Great but emotional night out with the club 💙
Our very own Torsten is heading back to Germany 🇩🇪
Fair to say he got the send-off he deserves – plenty of laughs, stories, and a few drinks along the way! 🍻
You’ll be missed, but we’re hoping this is just a “see you soon” rather than goodbye! 🌊🤿
Safe travels Torsten – from all of us!

🦀 Fun Fact Friday – Scottish Edible Crab!
Did you know the edible crab (Cancer pagurus) has one of the strongest grips in the sea? 💪 Its powerful claws can crush mussels, cockles, and even other crabs with ease!
These crabs are true coastal locals around Scotland, hiding among rocky seabeds and kelp forests. Their famous “pie-crust” shell edge makes them easy to spot 👀
Despite the name “edible crab,” they’re not just edible—they’re considered one of the best-tasting crabs in Europe!
Even cooler? Female crabs can carry millions of eggs at once—talk about super mums! 🐣
Next time you’re by the shore, keep an eye out… you might just spot one of these tough little characters! 🌊

🤿💙 What’s YOUR favourite part of diving?
Is it…
🌊 That first giant stride into the water
🐠 The moment you spot something incredible
🚤. Wreck hunting
🦞. Creature spotting
👯 The laughs and stories with your dive buddies after
🔥 Or even the post-dive warm-up (tea, anyone?)
For me, it’s: the quiet, no one can phone me, no emails, just time to escape into a different world!
Drop yours in the comments 👇 — and if you’ve got a photo that captures it, even better! 📸
Let’s celebrate what keeps us all coming back to the water 💙

🦞 Coastal Cool – Scottish Lobster!
Ever spotted a lobster along the Scottish coast? The European lobster (Homarus gammarus) is a true underwater heavyweight! 💪
With their striking dark blue shells (sometimes even bright blue!) and powerful claws, these lobsters are built for life on the rocky seabed. One claw crushes, the other cuts—like having built-in tools! 🔧
They’re mostly nocturnal too 🌙—hiding in rocky crevices by day and heading out at night to hunt for food.
Fun fact: lobsters can live for decades and keep growing throughout their lives. Some real old-timers are out there! 👀
Next time you’re by the sea, remember—there’s a whole hidden world beneath the waves! 🌊
