IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Due to circumstances outside of our control and with immediate effect, Trentham Acadamy have suspended the use of all facilities outside of school hours including their pool and classrooms both of which we use.
A statement by the Acadamy states that they "have not made the decision lightly and that they recognise this will cause some issues for many, if not all of their regular hirer’s, users and customers" but that they have done so under the advise of Public Health England and the Department for Education. They also "hope you understand their motivation for choosing to take this action and would like to extend their sincere apologies to all Community Sports Centre users."
Newcastle Community Firestation have also advised that they have suspended the use of their community rooms until the end of the month (or possibly longer).
We have been in contact with BSAC HQ regarding Coronavirus and they have issued instructions for additional safety measures for using club scuba equipment (especially where equipment is shared) which we have happily taken on board and adopted.
Until otherwise advised by the government or BSAC HQ we will continue with quarry training and lectures (if we can set up an alternative venue).

Sixty Years Of Diving
AND STILL GOING STRONG
"I can mention many moments that were unforgettable and revelatory. But the most single revelatory three minutes was the first time I put on scuba gear and dived on a coral reef. It's just the unbelievable fact that you can move in three dimensions..." David Attenborough
Potteries Divers is 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.
If you want the highest standards of training and great diving in good company, then Potteries Divers is for you.
