Welcome to UNE Scuba & Snorkelling Club

UNE SCUBA exists to support both those wanting to become SCUBA divers and those already qualified in the Armidale area by helping to organise courses and trips; by providing SCUBA gear for hire; and being a hub for local Divers to meet.

We are a group supporting UNE students, staff, alumni and others in the Armidale area to partake in diving courses and trips to the Solitary Islands Marine Park and beyond. We are supported by Coffs Harbour Jetty Dive and Wooli Dive centres for our boating trips, and we hope to do more shore diving to help keep diving affordable. Furthermore, we can help members get their diving qualifications or, if already qualified, provide lots of opportunities for diving and snorkeling. We also have a wide variety of SCUBA gear that is available for hire to members, and the facility to fill our own air tanks.

Our main form of communication is via our public (https://www.facebook.com/UNESSC) and private (https://www.facebook.com/groups/UNESCUBA) Facebook pages, so don't forget to join us there to make sure you don't miss anything.

Club membership fees are currently: - Learner (UNE Student) - $5 - Learner (non-UNE Student) - $15 - SCUBA Certified UNE Student - $10 - SCUBA Certified non-UNE Student $40 - Full kit hire for members - $30
