Our club member and national expert 😎 Karen Boswarva is an incredible asset for all the 'squidge' loving divers in our club and beyond.
Have you done the Seasearch course with her yet? You too can be a community scientist and add to knowledge of our local marine life.

Have you seen Orkney Sub-Aqua Club is the ‘Club Focus’ in this month’s Scuba Magazine? If not, you should get on it! Thanks to Laura, our club Secretary, who responded to the questions, it’s clear to see how fortunate we are to live in Orkney, to have an ever-expanding choice of dive sites and wrecks to explore, and to have an excellent bunch of divers as our members.

Orkney truly is one of the top dive destinations of the world and thousands of divers can attest to that. We live where many come for a ‘once in a lifetime’ holiday, so if you live locally and are a diver, come and join us for some extraordinary adventures.

We’re also getting into putting on our own club expeditions further afield. We’re just back from Unst, Shetland, so look out for a post on that with some stunning photographs.

If you’re interested in diving with us, as a member or a guest, don’t hesitate to contact us on [email protected], or drop us a message here on Facebook.
