Another successful Plymouth diving adventure for Marlin members
When was the club formed?
Marlin Sub-Aqua Club was formed on 30 September 1999.
Where are you based?
We are based in the heart of the English Midlands. The club meets every Thursday evening and has access to Pingles Leisure Centre swimming pool on alternate weeks. When not at the pool we meet at the Griff & Coton Sports and
Social Club, where we have access to a function room for training, presentations, meetings and social events.
Who are your members?
Our 37 members mostly come from Nuneaton and the surrounding area, although in recent years divers have joined from much further afield for our active diving programme and low-cost nitrox and trimix. They range in age from 14 to 79. We accept children of existing members from age 14 for scuba training. Regular try-dives are our main source of new members and continue to be very successful. We have developed a fully automated online booking system for try-dives and refresher sessions. Demand has remained strong, with try-dives and refreshers increasing from 18 participants in 2022 to 26 in 2025.
