How do I join for the first time?

Joining OUUEG is a very easy three step process. Please find all information on the join the club page.

I’m not a qualified diver. Can I still join?

Yes you can! We run some try dives and offer entry-level training every year.

I’m already a qualified diver.

Then come and dive with us! We’re happy to have you.

Note that OUUEG is affiliated with BSAC: if you’ve qualified with another agency then you can still dive with us – see the cross-over page.

What kind of trips do you run?

We tend to go on weekend trips around the UK, either to the coast or in flooded quarries – usually either every weekend or every other weekend.

We also typically run two or three longer trips every year: the Easter trip to Cornwall or Portland, and a trip abroad (e.g. the Egyptian Red Sea in December 2024), and a summer expedition (e.g. Cyprus in July 2025). Please contact our Expedition Officer for further information.

What are the payment options for membership fees?

OUUEG prefers to receive membership fees via bank transfer. We also have a physical and virtual card reader that accepts debit cards and credit cards. We do not accept cheques or cash for membership fees. Please find more information on the Join the Club page.

BSAC must be paid directly via direct debit (preferred), debit card or credit card.

Can you pro-rate my membership?

Please refer to the Membership section of our by-laws.
