Big Squid Dive Club - Scuba Diving Club in South London
The Big Squid Dive Club is free to join, open to all certification levels, and genuinely one of the friendliest diving communities in London. Whether you qualified with PADI, BSAC, SSI, or anyone else, you’re welcome here. There are no membership fees, no politics, and no pressure, just a group of people who like diving and enjoy each other’s company in and out of the water.
Social Events
On the first Tuesday of every month, we meet at the Clapham Tap Pub on Clapham Manor Street at 7.00 pm for the Dive Club Social Night. Beyond that, we regularly organise barbecues, curry nights, and the occasional pub trip. Give us a call on 020 7627 0700, and we’ll make sure someone looks out for you on your first visit.
Pool Nights (Squid Splash)
We run pool nights three times a month on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at our pools in Clapham and Dulwich, South London. It’s a great chance to keep your skills sharp, try out new kit, or just get some time in the water between trips. You don’t need a buddy; we’ll pair you up if needed, and there’s always a qualified instructor on hand for supervision. Equipment hire is available if you don’t have your own, but please book in advance.

Dive Trips
We run several trips every year, both in the UK and abroad, to Portland, Lundy, Vobster, Egypt, and more. Club members dive together regularly, so by the time a trip comes around, you’ll probably already know the people you’re going with.
