Diving since 1954! And still going strong
Potteries Divers is more than just a dive club, we are a family that continues to grow. We are an active, non-profit, scuba diving club based in Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. We have our own fully qualified instructors, meeting weekly to train and develop skills amongst our members; instruction is free with club membership.
The club organises regular dive trips in and around the UK for members, and annually to more exotic overseas locations. Whether wreck diving is your passion, or you prefer scenic dives with ocean life, Potteries Divers can cater for you.
If you have never dived before but would like to learn more about scuba diving and discover a whole new world underwater, then why not come along to our pool and have a free Try Dive? Alternatively, if you are a qualified diver looking for some new dive buddies, we recognise qualifications from all the major training organisations and would welcome you into our club.
