Fees
Becoming a member of the Stroud Valley Branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club is not as costly as you may think.

The fees can be divided into three payments:

1) Fee's to BSAC
2) Fee's to the Branch (SVSAC)
3) Fee's for the diving manuals

1) Fees to BSAC

The annual fee to BSAC for a full diving member is £43. This includes the subscription for the official diving magazine.

There are discounts on this fee as follows:

  • If you are aged between 14-17 (junior diving membership) the annual fee becomes £17.
  • If you are 18 or over and in full time education (student membership) the fee becomes £17.
  • For a second member of a household over 14 years of age (abated membership) the fee becomes £28.

If you opt for these discount memberships you will not receive the monthly BSAC magazine. A life membership is also available for a one-off fee. Please ask if you require further details of this.

Other reductions apply according to qualification. For more details please see the BSAC website or contact the Membership Secretary.

2) Fees to the Branch (SVSAC)

As a member of the Stroud Valley Sub-Aqua Club you will be asked to pay a monthly fee in the form of a standing order paid to the branch's bank account. If you will be training in the pool there will be an additional monthly sum for the first year to assist with the purchase of equipment and air that you will be using.

The cost per month for a single membership is £6. A family membership increases by £2 for each additional family member living at the same address. This amount covers the pool fees and general administration and expenses.

If you will be training in the pool the additional cost towards equipment and air is £3.50 per month and this is paid for the first year only. This may be paid as a lump sum of £42 to cover the 12 months if you prefer.

3) Fees for the diving manuals
If you will be training for the first qualification of 'Ocean Diver' you will need to purchase the BSAC training pack at a cost of £30. This should be purchased before you start your training as it includes the manual, qualification record and logbook to help you begin and record your training. This amount is payable by cheque to the Stroud Valley Sub-Aqua Club.
