EDEN VALLEY DIVERS SUB-AQUA CLUB

About Us

Eden Valley Divers is a small, friendly, dive club based at Abbott Lodge, Clifton, near Penrith, Cumbria. Our club is affiliated to the Scottish Sub-Aqua Club (ScotSAC).

If you are thinking of learning to scuba dive, we will provide a safe training schedule, as per ScotSAC's training procedure, where trainees can progress at their own speed.

We are passionate about teaching drysuit/cold water scuba diving to the highest standard! Locally we dive Crummock Water, Ullswater and Wastwater and then further afield progressing to sea dives.

For salt water and sea diving, we regularly visit Loch Long, Loch Fyne and the East Coast, with the Farne Islands and St Abbs being particular favourites.

However, the club also seeks out warm water diving holidays as can be seen from our gallery photos.
