The Leicester Underwater Exploration Club

Very friendly and active dive club, great facilities and knowledgeable instructors!

I've been a member of LUEC for many years - from my first ever UK dives and going through Sports Diver to Dive Leader and onto cave diving more recently. The club and all the members (old and new) have been an extended family for me - always a source of entertainment and even on the odd occasion, inspiration! If you live in or around Leicester and want to dive, learn to dive or snorkel, you won't go far wrong.

These inland Leicestershire clubs are shocking places to be (We are the most inland anyway which is the problem here). Coastline trips are in short supply. Stoney Cove is generally the only place they dive regularly and can be difficult. I have been through three - as a young person I would not recommend them. Also avoid Swadlincote SAC and LUEC - Leicestershire Underwater Exploration club. The latter being very abusive. Cliquey, gangly and not inclusive towards the end at all (goes for all ...

I've been with the club now for over 3 years. I've been able to learn at my own pace and enjoyed the wealth of experience of the well established members but also the energy of the newest ones. Really enjoy diving with the se guys, always a joke to be had.

Having not dived for a couple of years since gaining my Ocean Diver qualification, I wanted to get back into it again and found my local branch of BSAC, LUEC. I'd had a good experience with my previous BSAC club and had no doubt I would have a similar experience with my new club. A more friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, safe, fun group of divers/friends you will not find! Cannot recommend these guys enough.
