  • Ras Al-Hamra Sub Aqua Club RAHSAC Celebrates 30 Anniversary
    Ras al-Hamra Sub Aqua Club BSAC BRANCH 1299s RAHSAC celebrates 30th Anniversary On 19th May 1982 the Ras Al Hamra Sub-Aqua Club was founded as a section of the Ras Al Hamra Recreation Club and as branch 1299 of the British Sub-Aqua Club. Some people who were instrumental in the formation of the club were Richard Keech, Mike Butcher, John Elder and Frances Green. Consisting of around 15 members, the dive club had sponsorship from the Recreation Club and could buy some dive tanks, regulators and most important, a compressor. Since formation we have seen hundreds of divers passing through the club; as a club our membership tends to change every four years as people change postings. We have also trained hundreds of divers to become good divers and many up to instructor levels. The club has had its ups and downs with membership shrinking and expanding, restricted by regulations and discovering new dive sites. We have always been supported by the RAH Recreation Club and its committee with finance for equipment, boats and compressors. We have also supported the club during sailing and swimming events and other occasions. At present RAHSAC is a large healthy diving club with about 100 members, instructors, boats, compressors, gas blending facilities and everything that an adventurous diver needs. These two pictures show how the club has developed, from owning a Rubber Duck (see picture above) to operating three seaworthy dive boats. (See picture left) In May we will celebrate our 30th Birthday, a milestone in the club’s history with a celebration dinner on 16th May and with diving activities on 19th May.
