Volunteer
We are looking for people who share our passion for diving history to help us fulfil our aims of preserving and promoting our diving heritage. We encourage a ‘buddy system’ of supporting each other in any given roles from maintaining and demonstrating vintage diving equipment to administrative help such as keeping in touch with the membership and cataloguing our growing collection of artefacts. Shared roles makes us stronger and more effective. Whatever your background or experience, everyone is welcome. We are extremely grateful to all our volunteers whose time and effort has ensured the continued success of the Society.
Donate
As a charity we rely entirely on the generosity of private individuals and organisations in order to flourish. You may choose to specify your gift to be used for a stated purpose, or perhaps donate in memory of a special individual. However you chose to donate, you can be certain that your gift will be received with gratitude and will make a positive difference to our work.
