Combine that with often beautiful locations round our Islands and a great bunch of people and you have sport diving in the UK with HGSAC.

Although I've dived in a variety of locations around the world, I still think that the diving off the British coastline is fascinating. Weekends away with the club are good fun and there is something for all types of divers.

I look forward to diving with you soon.

Sue , on the other hand gained her Ocean Diver qualification with the benefit of training advice from most, if not all of the clubs skilled instructors. She was thrilled to be presented with the "Novice of the year" trophy, even if it was awarded this time for stubborn perseverance!

"We look forward to going onwards and downwards!" 

Gary and his wife Jane can still be found helping out with instructing and are still enjoying their diving with great enthusiasm, although for Jane the attraction of jumping into dark murky quarries and deep dark wrecks has lost some of the attraction, but she still looks forward to their annual trips to the Farne Islands and Lyme Regis and other interesting places.

Both keep fit enthusiasts, when they're not splashing about in water they can often be found plodding the streets of Cheadle! 

I have just finished two years as DO with HGSAC and enjoyed the role and feel that I have been instrumental in helping to drive the club membership from strength to strength. I am keen that all the membership get actively involved with developing the diving in our club and look to each member to organise at least one club dive per year.

As well as diving I enjoy riding my motorbike, DIY and shooting clay pigeons. As far as a mantra goes it would have to be ' If you say you are going to do it, do it'   

I started diving in 1968 when life jackets were unheard of! I've done over 1000 dives in a variety of place around the world

His favourite dive sites include the wrecks off Anglesey, Scapa Flow, South Shields and the South coast. He particularly  likes discovering new wrecks.

Vaughn has been the equipment officer for the boats for the last 2 years and has dived with many other clubs such as Salford and North Wales.

He recently completed Dive leader training would and is keen to progress further. Already has a professional interest in gases and breathing circuits as he works as an anaesthetist at the local hospital. He would eventually like to get involved in training. He likes all the types of diving tried so far, particularly if there's lots of life.  

I have wanted to learn to dive for some time, but education, money and careers, kept stopping it . I am currently doing my ocean diver training and lookingforward to my first UK dive. I also look after the website these days, as my way of giving something back to the club .
