History

Branch History

The Selsey Bill branch is a relatively new branch of the BSAC, formed in 1997 by a group of very experienced divers from the local area. Our most experienced divers can date their diving history back to the early 1970’s; some still even have their twin hose regulators hidden away. As a result we have many years of experience of diving in the local area and further afield..

We play an active part in supporting the local community through various activities and have very good contacts with both the local fishermen and the Selsey lifeboat crew; several having trained as divers with our group.

Most of our diving takes place around the Selsey area although we also arrange regular trips to Cornwall, Devon and Dorset. Within the UK we have also organised diving holidays to the Orkneys, the west coast of Scotland and the Scilly Isles. In the wider world, trips have been organised to Malta/Gozo, the Red Sea, Turkey, Palau and Truk Lagoon.
