Background
Dive with Macclesfields oldest, most established diving organisation, which is part of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC). BSAC is the world's largest diving club and its qualifications allow you to dive anywhere in the world. East Cheshire Sub-Aqua Club (ECSAC) is based in Macclesfield with its own clubhouse and has over 100 members.
As a member of E.C.S.A.C. you will have collective ownership of our purpose built Clubhouse, two club boats, compressor and training equipment. The clubhouse was designed and built in 1991 by club members themselves and therefore contains every facility that an active diver could wish for. The club combines the excitement and adventure of diving with lively and varied social activities: Beach BBQs, Live Bands, Cabaret Nights, Discos, Quiz Nights, Treasures Hunts, Bonfire Parties, Race Nights, Theme Nights, New Years Eve are all in addition to regular Thursday Evening club nights.
The focus of social activites is the club bar and social room. The friendly social and family atmosphere naturally extends to the diving expeditions. This family atmosphere is futher enhanced by the Snorkelling section where the children of club members can join the underwater adventure prior to becoming divers themselves.
The large boat house on the ground floor holds a 5.5m Humber RIB, a 5.5m Delta Rib as well as a minibus. The minibus is used to tow one of the boats and carry up to eight people on dive trips. It is also used on club and social events. Incorporated within the boat house is the compressor facility, with an extensive air bank. The inclusive membership fee entitles you to fill your diving cylinders free of charge.
To join ECSAC you must be over 14 years of age, physically fit, and able to swim.
We hope you'd like to find out more by either reading about your training, contacting us, or coming to see us at the club on a Thursday night.
