We are a SCUBA club associated with RMIT that have been making a splash in Victorian waters for over 45 years! We are a community of people who share a common love for the beauty and wonder below our amazing oceans. The club is a great opportunity for divers of al levels, from beginners to experienced divers to enjoy the great diving Victoria and beyond has to offer. While we exist under the RMIT Sport and Recreation umbrella we are open to the wider community, be it alumni or a random SCUBA diver that found us on google!

FAQs

Why join us?

We are a highly active club, aiming to arrange day dives at least once a month. The club consists of a wide variety of members of all skill levels, from freshly certified to Dive Master veterans you'll be sure to learn something new and improve your diving expertise!
The club also has a diverse membership base of all ages and backgrounds, so is a great place to socialise and meet new people.

Do I need to be Scuba qualified? Does the club offer Scuba courses?

Yes, we do require that all members are Scuba qualified to dive with us. It does not matter which association you are qualified with, though we most commonly see people with PADI and SSI qualifications. There is no requirement to go beyond the standard 'Open Water' qualification.

We do not usually offer Scuba courses. Though it is a common question, so we happily help arrange group courses at times when there is enough interest to try and get you a discount!

What gear does the club provide? How much does it cost?

The club has all the 'expensive' stuff that you may not have, including Tanks, Regulators, Dive Computers, and BCDs. We also have a 22ft Stabicraft Boat called "Shambles" that we use on trips (capacity of 8 divers) and an air compressor for our longer trips to refill the tanks.

This gear is provided to club members *for free* as a part of your annual membership cost. The only costs you will incur are running costs, such as the cost to refill tanks at a dive store or petrol for the boat.

Why join us?

By being a non-commercial dive club, we don't charge any service fee and are able to keep operational cost low. Additionally the club is able to frequent locations where no commercial operator currently operates. However the no service fee does mean there will be no boat boys helping you put your fins on! The community spirit of everyone pitching-in, provides you with the opportunity to learn skills that might otherwise only be acquired if you worked for a dive company! Such as boat handling skills, dive planning, trip organising, dive safety, tank filling, compressor maintenance, boat maintenance etc. When you dive with us, you will have the opportunity to try your hand at under-water photography, reef diving, wreck diving, drift diving etc. We meet socially as a club at the RMIT City campus once a month, where we discuss club business, plan dives, listen to guest speakers or watch dive videos. Swing by and say hi, these meetings are great opportunity to meet fellow members of the club before you commit to spending time in picturesque coastal locations with us!

P.S. While we are unable to provide any formal training, we are more than happy to assist you in beginning or progressing your SCUBA adventures!
