History
The Sub Aqua Society was first mentioned in a sports timetable notice in the McGarel in October 1975. The society would carry out training on Wednesdays at 2-4pm. In January 1977, the society was keen on recruiting new students and was particularly encouraging female students to get involved in the society, as there wasn’t enough female participants to utilise £6000 worth of equipment, expert training and tuition available at the time.
In March 1977, members of the society made a trip to a beach in Swanage to complete their BSAC ‘D’ test, this is an open water section of a training programme which allowed members to be categorised under the internationally acknowledged title of ‘Diver Third Class’.
