UEA Sub Aqua is UEA’s own scuba diving, free diving and snorkelling club. We accept everybody, whether you're terrified of swimming, or have been diving for years - we want to allow you to reach new depths.
Members are offered the chance to take part in try-dives, regular pool sessions, or even complete a course with either PADI or BSAC. If you're looking to give Scuba diving a go, start with us!
Many are put off scuba diving by the costs. While we cannot deny it can be expensive, we can help you get a number of discounts and even ask your school to give you a grant. While it can still be expensive, it's unlikely you'll find a cheaper option even after you graduate.
This year, we plan on holding a barrage of socials to make up for lost time including regular sports nights; socials in and around Norwich such as pub crawls and bowling; more relaxing socials such as a movie and pizza nights; informative talks about diving (hopefully) with special guests and beach clean-ups too! We also hope to plan as many dive trips as possible, both day trips to local dive sites and longer trips in the UK and abroad. As well as this we are looking at expanding the snorkelling opportunities that the club has to offer, allowing it to be more inclusive and just as fun as diving. So Stay tuned to our socials to find out more!
So get involved... we can't wait to meet you!

Additional Cost of Sport Ranges
The additional cost of sport project, which was created by the Students’ Union, alongside uea+sport, is designed to give prospective members information on the range of costs they may face in joining their chosen sport.
This range should be taken as guidance. For compulsory costs, this price includes uea+sport membership which is £55, and you only need to pay once to join all of our clubs.
When considering additional costs, some clubs may have none and others may have further costs. This is often dependent on the level of competitiveness for the sport you get involved in, and so recreational or socially playing may be cheaper. You may also have equipment which can be used between multiple sports, for example shoes or gum shields.
For any questions, please ask the sport club for specific further information, or union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for further information on the project.
Many thanks,
Luke Johnson
