Learn to dive with iDive

If you’ve drifted away from diving, you’re in good company. Life gets busy, plans slip, and suddenly getting back in the water feels bigger than it really is.

But that pause isn’t failure — your skills and confidence are still there. You just need the right people, the right environment, and a gentle nudge to reconnect with the challenge, calm, and sense of belonging that diving gives.

You’re not behind. You’re ready for your next chapter.

If you want to ease back into diving, give us a call. Our club meets Thursdays at Fore Street pool in Ipswich from 7pm (pool time 7.45–8.45pm), and we wrap up at the Admiral Nelson — where trips, socials, and real diving plans come to life.

 

If you are interested in joining us, please send us a note to info@idive.org.uk from your phone or other device and we will respond.

Welcome to Ipswich Dive Club (iDive)

We are a friendly local dive club based in Ipswich, Suffolk. We are branch number 32 of the British Sub- Aqua Club (BSAC) which is the national governing body for scuba diving and snorkelling in the UK.

Our experienced members organise dive trips in the UK as well as overseas so we are certain you will find a trip that will be of interest to you. It would be easy to fill this page with all of the things we can do but the best way to get to know us is to arrange a meeting and visit us at the pool.

What our members say...

We are a friendly club focused on UK diving but also venturing overseas when we can. If you like your diving to be sociable why not come and join us.

Ian Cross

Diving around the coast of Britain can be excellent. If you are a qualified diver or thinking of learning, a club like ours is a great place to pursue your interest.

Alan Beaumont

I’ve been diving for many years and can honestly say that our coastal waters offer some of the best wreck diving in the world (when the weather and visibility are on our side!) and exploring it with friends in our club is the best way to enjoy it.
