Being located as far from the sea as possible is not a problem if you want to learn to dive and get involved in BSAC . Kristina Pedder interviews Stowe Sub Aqua Club

When was the club formed ?
In 1986 , Stowe Sub Aqua Club was created for Stowe School , an independent school in Buckinghamshire . Later , membership was opened up to anyone . We deliberately focus on outreach to our local community and youth groups , to give people the chance to experience diving and now have a diverse membership .
Who are your members ?
Our 32 members span a wide range of age groups : eight are under 20 ; six are 20-40 ; and 18 are over 40 . We have always had a good representation of younger members , and welcome new members who might need help to learn to dive .
Where do you start ?
We do a massive amount of try dives , well over 100 a year , usually for local youngsters ( scouts , guides , cadets , youth clubs , young carers ), which gives an opportunity to people who would otherwise never experience the underwater world . It also brings much-needed publicity for the club . So , in ‘ normal ’ [ pre-Covid ] times we hold regular try dive events at Stowe School pool
