Friendly diving club with own hardboat, regular dives, fortnightly indoor pool hire, and discounted air fills. Come diving with us!

This is the Oxford BSAC page (we also have a Facebook Group). We are now a mature club with a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere. Writing in early 2011, the branch has around 90 members from the Oxford area stretching from Bicester in the North to Didcot in the South and from Witney in the West to Aylesbury in the East. We even have some members who live here during the week and go home

It’s a wrap on another fabulous weekend.

The stupendous conditions in Plymouth continued. Tides were ideal for SS Maine just off Bolt Head. This 1917 torpedo victim is one of the best sports diver wrecks in the country with intact holds and bow and stern sections standing 10m high. She did not disappoint with 15m vis and we took full advantage doing it twice.

We also hit perfect slack water on the 19th century sailing ship Oregon in similar cracking vis. Think these two definitely have the rust fever……doing 90 minute dives (ropes off @6) to catch the perfect tide.

Superb diving with all who came this weekend.

We dived the Marie, a 19th century three masted iron sailing ship. We then moved on to HMS untiring which is a British Sub from the 1950s. Next up was the Oregon which is another turn of the century sailing ship. Fast becoming a club favourite this seems to benefit from stunning visibility on a routine basis.

Today we dived the Australbush an Australian cargo ship sunk in 1917. The propeller and the rudder pins were in situ and at points the wreck stood ten metres tall. These deeper wrecks were tough to find and shot. Cannot recommend .eu enough.

Huge thanks to Nart for his superb shotting and in the case of the untiring pulling a sixty metre shot and reshotting. The lazy shot system worked really really well at keeping all deco’ing divers together. Last up was a wash up dive on the JEL so we could go and see the ammo cases.

Huge thanks to all those who made the weekend. Nick & Ric in particular!

Weekend of 4/5 July. We took the club boat round to Salcombe to dive the P&O liner Medina and HMS untiring both approx 60m using CCRs.

The Medina which lies SE of Start Point is a P&O liner that used to service the Britain - Australia route and in fact carried King George V to India circa 1911. She was sunk in 1917 and is one of the most interesting shipwrecks on the south Coast. She is fiendishly difficult with complicated and ferocious tides which calm briefly only on the post high water ‘slack’ before they spring into action carrying our divers nearly 2 nautical miles from where they went into the water. As a club we first got fins on her decks in 2024 and yesterday we got a forensic look at the wreck which was a real privilege.

Sunday it was ropes off at 04:30 to take the morning slack over HMS Untiring which is a fairly uniquely intact British sub.

Cracking team effort and a lively couple of hours punching our way through a short chop back around start point.

Endeavour earned her cream tea for sure.
