Diving is not thought of as the cheapest of sports, which doesn't really combine well with the average student. At SUSAC we try and break the mould a little and make things cheaper, so that diving during your university years will probably cost less than it will any other time in your life.

Please be aware that the club instructors are not being paid. We do this to keep your costs down and because we enjoy it. We do like the odd thank you now and again though! 

How much will it cost me?
