Max joined our club as a 11 year old boy who was autistic This is max,s story in his own words as to how Scuba diving with Bradford Sub Aqua Club changed many aspects of his life. Max sent his story to Scuba magazine whom published it.

Once again we joined diving clubs from across the northwest and beyond to descend on the Isle of Anglesey to take part in 2026 Menai Boat Run.

Boats launch at Dinas Boat yard Y Felinheli then travel along the Menia  passing under both bridges round Puffin Island at the top of the Menai and the back down to Beaumaris. After the traditional fish and chip lunch in Beaumaris, participants gathered by the RNLI boatshed to present the cheque to the Beaumaris RNLI. We then left Beaumaris back down the menai to the boat yard a total distance of approx 30 miles.

This event is  as a pre-season ‘blast’ to check club RIBs as well as a fundraiser for the RNLI, the Menai Boat Run was started by East Cheshire sub aqua club back in 2007, before Chester Sub-Aqua Club took it over in 2019.

This year’s event included 150 members and 30 boats from 19 different BSAC clubs. .

The final total raised by this years event for the Beaumaris lifeboat has now topped £1,726.

Speaking after the event, Chester SAC’s Diving Officer (DO) Steve Clarkson, thanked everyone who took part. Steve, who has taken over coordinating the event from his club’s former DO, Dave Parry, said the boat run had become an important fundraiser as well as a great day out. 

Hi All

Today (17/04/22) a few members of our club had a great day with the RIB out of Holyhead visiting the Skerries and south Stack whilst we hoped to get a dive the poor visibility spoilt this so we used the day to give David Baxendall the opportunity to go out in the club RIB to see how it can perform and to get behind the wheel and give it a go

Another Trip to Angelsey  camping at Treardour Bay.
