North Wales Sub-Aqua Club (NWSAC) are an affiliate club of the Sub-Aqua Association (SAA Club #136). We offer SCUBA diver training in a friendly, relaxed and professional atmosphere. We are based in Llandudno, North Wales which has some of the UK's best dive sites within easy reach of our club slipway. We follow the SAA motto of being the "friendly divers" and always welcome new members to the club. We have our own RIB and air compressor onsite.
Our main focus is on fun and progressive diver training with safety being of paramount importance. You will learn in a structured way at your own pace with instructors who hold internationally recognised qualifications. The emphasis is on safe, thorough training in a friendly club atmosphere with volunteer instructors who provide training for the love of the sport, not for profit. We dive more or less every weekend throughout the year at various locations, which include boat, shore and inland dive sites. We also organise regular trips within the UK and abroad.
We welcome all members of the community including those with disabilities. We have several club members who have attended the Disability Sport Wales UK DIT Course and the club recently received the Disability Sport Wales Insport Ribbon Award. All instructors are DBS checked.
Whether you've yet to experience the underwater world or are a qualified diver already then just come along to one of our club meetings which are held every Sunday evening at 8pm in Llandudno Sailing Club.
Our clubhouse is less than 100m from the sea! A purpose built slipway allows the swift and easy launch of our club RIB.
Highly regarded and experienced Instructors can help you progress in this fun and exciting sport.
The North Wales coast with its outstanding natural beauty has numerous wrecks and reefs to explore.
Our Rigid Inflatable Boat gets you to the dive sites swiftly and safely.
NWSAC are able to offer the open water portion of any of the SAA courses in a local dive environment. On occasion NWSAC also organises dive trips abroad. It is during these trips that it may be possible to progress your training still further.
Our Diving Officer and Principal Instructor at NWSAC teach a wide variety of SAA courses and have a wealth of diving experience and knowledge. It is because of this passion that NWSAC and its instructors are committed to taking that extra step to work with you as much as you need to feel comfortable and confident in your new found diving skills.
Informative, inspiring, adventurous and fun. And that's just me! Let us give you a thorough start to your SCUBA diver training, always carried out with patience and professionalism.

I joined the North Wales Sub-Aqua Club as a complete beginner. Several years later, having tried the patience of every instructor, I have now bluffed my way to become a One StarDiver. I also take pride in having never won the Trevor Award.
