The British Sub-Aqua Club was formed in 1953 and was officially recognised by the Sports Council (now Sport England) as the UK governing body for the sport in 1958. The Club grew rapidly to become the biggest diving Club in the world. There are now over 50,000 members in 1600 Branches world-wide, and over 200 BSAC schools.
The Aims and Objectives of the BSAC are defined in the Articles of Association:

'To promote underwater sport, exploration, science and related studies, to promote safety in these activities and by co-operation with other organisations with related objects, to provide the widest exchange of knowledge and experience therein, and by setting and maintaining the highest standards, to sustain recognition as the governing body for all such amateur activity'.


The BSAC's operations are devoted to the interests of all amateur divers in Great Britain and its members overseas. The BSAC is responsible for establishing and monitoring recreational diving standards. It also actively and succesfully campaigns to preserve access and the freedom of the Sea and to conserve the resources of the underwater world for divers of the future.
