Take a scroll through our calendar of events. This page is intended to give viewers a glimpse into what UCD SAC has planned for 2020.
A sneaky short weekend in February (23rd- 25th Feb) for 2 stars and above to the Hook peninsula in Wexford. Trainees and 1 stars are welcome to join us for snorkelling and partying
The main aim of this weekend is to get all those crusty experienced divers back in the water before the season starts. We won’t be doing any deep diving as we wont be dived up but please let me know if there is any particular dives you want to do or any training you want to get in on the weekend.
I’m hoping to organise some photography/research dives as well as some general fun dives on wrecks and some relaxing shore dives.
Hook is known for its exceptionally clear waters, diversity of ship wrecks and shore dives. Its also quite close to Dublin and only takes about 2 hours from Dublin so perfect for a short weekend.

Malinbeg marks the official start of the dive season and for many, their first trip with the club. It is the one weekend of the year that is completely dedicated to getting as many of our trainees qualified as possible to become One Star Divers.

If you have a free hour or two pop to the shed from 10am to give Oisin our Boat Officer a hand prepping Ad Astra for the year ahead.
Our brilliant Scientific Officer Danielle has been busy educating us with fun facts about marine life. She’s actually taught me more in one email than I learned in four years of Zoology. Go figure. So come along to the UCD cinema at 20:30 for the next installment of Blue Planet II.
