Welcome to South Northants BSAC

The club was founded over 35 years ago and is based in Towcester. We meet every 1st and 3rd Monday from 7.30pm at one of the local pubs and every 2nd, 4th and 5th Monday from 8.00pm at Towcester Leisure Centre.  Our two 5m RIB’s offer cost effective diving and provide the opportunity of gaining boat handling skills.

Whilst we’re affiliated to the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), we welcome divers that have learnt to dive through all recognised diving organisations. We also train a small number of divers every year, some of which have never put their head under the water before coming to us!

You are very welcome to join us on club nights to find out more about us. Drop us a line via the contact form or give us a call, and we will be happy to talk you through what we do and how that may fit in with what you’d like to achieve – whether you’re ready to do a full course, experience a try in the pool or simply want to continue your diving with us!

Book a Try Dive

If you have always wanted to learn to dive or are simply curious about scuba diving, then a Try Dive with South Northants BSAC is the perfect introduction! 


In the safe confines of the pool, a BSAC Instructor will introduce you to the basic skills and equipment needed to experience the thrill of breathing underwater for the very first time. Try Dives cost £20.



A typical Try Dive session lasts about 45 minutes. It involves poolside tuition on diving techniques and equipment, followed by a scuba dive in our pool with a BSAC-qualified instructor.

What our members say...

If you’re thinking of learning how to scuba dive and live in the Towcester area I would highly recommend this club. I consider myself very lucky to find such a welcoming and knowledgable group of diving enthusiasts this far away from the coast. The club has a very active mix of students at all stages in their scuba diving tuition. From absolute beginners through to a group of experieced instructors who all offer very friendly support, advice, tuition and instruction without the pressure of achievement deadlines. Ideal for today’s busy lives.

Who knew there was such an active scuba diving club right in the heart of England! Over the last 15 years the members of this club have taught me a love for diving in the UK and abroad, inspired me to develop my skills to go on to teach new members and made sure there is always a trip or social events in my diary to keep me busy. Fab club with brilliant members.

Friendly, active dive club. I have made lifelong friends through belonging to this club and had and continue to have amazing dive trips with great companions. The training I received was first class. Can not recommend it enough !

Karen Humphrey

I joined SNBSAC several years ago after starting a job in Silverstone, couldn't have asked for a nicer bunch of people to go diving with. It is an active club with lots of dive trips, training and social events.
