UBC Aqua Society

Established in 1957 the UBC Aqua Society separates itself from the rest of the dive community by integrating the social laid-back feel of a club with the professionalism, and services of a “regular” dive shop. The club is a 100% non-profit organization, which provides a number of benefits for you, the diver. All budget surpluses are reinvested in the club, this can be in the form of pizza at one of club socials and the maintenance and extension of our high quality rental equipment. As part of the UBC education facility, we pride ourselves in training good divers, with good diving habits, and promoting continuing education courses to meet their personal goals with your safety at top of mind. This is our primary focus and will continue to be.

We carry a wide selection of gear, from snorkel keepers to drysuits. We can provide Air and Enriched Air fills, conduct visual cylinder inspection, and some basic gear aid. We run a vast array of PADI sanctioned courses from discover scuba diving to divemaster and TEC referrals. Our on-site club volunteers are available for consultation with any of your dive related questions, comments and concerns.

As a club, we aim to host events for both divers and non-divers in our club. 

We aim to hold one club dive a month, varying sites from Whytecliff park, and to some boat dives all over the Howe Sound. 
In addition, we have various events at our club room, from trivia nights to movie nights, and other socials for everyone to join.
