General Information
Adelaide University Scuba Diving Club was founded in 1967 and is one of the largest SCUBA diving clubs in South Australia located opposite Adelaide Airport. The club has over 100 members of varying experience, ranging from those that have just completing their Open Water dive course through to divers with mixed gas, technical and cave diving qualifications that choose to log more than 150 dives each year with the club. There is a strong focus on making diving accessible to members of all levels of experience, with the vast majority of the club’s activities suitable for all divers.
Local dives are organised most weekends, and mid-week night dives are also popular. The club has a well equipped dive boat, three compressors for air fills (one club room compressor and two portable compressors for away trips) and 30 Faber 12L tanks that were recently added to our hire fleet. We also have BCD’s, Scuba Pro regulators, and wetsuits for rental. All our hire gear is done on weekly hire rates from Thursday to the following Thursday and payments are made online via Square.
The club can assist new members in obtaining divers certification with external training agencies but does not directly offer Open Water dive training. AUSC is a strong advocate of advanced dive training and will support divers in obtaining rescue diver certifications through club grants. Throughout the year, the club also encourages interested members to undertake a number of allied training courses in boat handling and seamanship, coastal navigation and marine radio operation, as well as DAN oxygen and resuscitation, and first aid certification.

Membership Diversity
We maintain a strong connection with the University of Adelaide through Adelaide University Sport and offer students inclusive diving opportunities. Our club not only helps members develop diving skills but also foster friendships, a sense of belonging, and personal development through leadership opportunities.
We are committed to a positive future for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and to honor their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and recognise the role and value of culture.
We are a proudly diverse dive club, who actively celebrates LGBTQIA+ diversity, inclusion, and pride.
