Share your summer stories
WITH AUTUMN JUST AROUND THE corner, BSAC members across the country – and beyond – have been making the most of the late sunshine and warmer waters to explore the underwater world.
Whether you’ ve taken the plunge on an exciting summer holiday, discovered a new UK dive site, or enjoyed some club time on the coast, BSAC wants to hear about it.
By tagging @ BSACdivers in your summer posts and using the hashtag # bsacdivers, you’ ll not only be sharing your adventures with us, but with the whole BSAC community.
Sharing your summer snorkel or dive stories is a brilliant way to:
■ Show what members of your club( or friends / family) are up to
■ Inspire other members with your favourite snorkel or dive spots
■ Help spread the joy of our amazing underwater world
■ Give your posts a chance to be reshared by BSAC!
The BSAC team will keep an eye on your photos, reels and stories and reshare our favourites. So, the next time you or your club post your underwater moments, don’ t forget to tag @ BSACdivers and add # bsacdivers to help us celebrate the best of summer 2025 diving and snorkelling.
Heinke entries time to talk
CLUBS INTERESTED IN ENTERING THE Heinke Trophy 2026 can now request a‘ call back’ so they can find out more about what is involved.
By simply emailing their name and contact details to heinke @ bsac. com clubs can request a personal one-to-one telephone chat with a member of the Heinke team.“ Entering the Heinke Trophy 2026 is a fantastic way to capture a‘ year in the life’ of your club- how you dive, train, recruit, and connect with your community,” Heinke adjudicator Phil Harrison explained.
“ It’ s also a chance to shine a spotlight on your members’ passion, innovation, and commitment – and to inspire others to follow your lead. The intention of the call back is to offer interested clubs an initial conversation so they can decide whether the time is right to enter.”
Since 1958, the Heinke Trophy has been BSAC’ s premier club award, celebrating the very best in club diving and snorkelling. Each year, the winning BSAC club not only receives the coveted Heinke Trophy but also receives £ 1,000 to spend on their club activities, as well as national recognition of their achievements.
The Heinke Trophy entry process is simpler, smarter, and more supportive than ever before. Interested clubs must register their interest in entering the Heinke Trophy by completing the online registration form by 30 November 2025 at the latest.
