Stingray Divers is a BSAC SCUBA diving club in York, North Yorkshire. We offer SCUBA trips and SCUBA training all year round. We welcome new starters and qualified divers from all diving agencies (BSAC, PADI, NAUI, SAA, SSAC etc.). We aim to organise excellent SCUBA diving in the UK and abroad all year round.

For those who need scuba training we offer the full range of BSAC diving qualifications.

We take pride in the quality and safety of our dive leadership and SCUBA instruction.

If you already have a diving qualification then going diving is easy. Whether you trained with BSAC or elsewhere, you are welcome. If you qualified through another agency (PADI, NAUI, SAA, SSAC etc.) there is a simple cross-over arrangement, which will give you an equivalent BSAC diving grade. Then you can go diving and access the full range of the club's facilities, including further training if you wish.

Go here for information (including prices) about joining Stingray Divers.

Go here to see where we dive. Finally, look here to see further training we can offer if you are already qualified.

If you are new to diving and would like to try SCUBA we offer a Try Dive scheme where you can have a go at SCUBA in our swimming pool.

If you are sure you want to join, then you begin with the Ocean Diver course. As an Ocean Diver you will be able to dive to depths of up to 20metres with a qualified buddy. Details of the Ocean Diver course can be found here.
