GLUG is a scuba diving club comprising mainly gay men, lesbians, and bisexual men and women.
GLUG’s aim is to provide high quality, enjoyable, and safe diving for its members, in a relaxed, non-threatening environment
We aim to organise several UK and Overseas trips per year
GLUG’s priority is to provide a core of excellent and sustainable activities for the benefit of all its members, and to use this track record to encourage new members to join
All diving activities shall respect, and take care not to damage, the marine environment
GLUG is totally committed to non-discrimination on the grounds of age, race, gender, sexual preference, and physical disabilities, however it does realise that for the purposes of scuba diving (but not for club membership), certain diving industry/universally accepted restrictions do apply
GLUG recognised the following organisations / minimum qualifications as proof of ability to dive:
PADI Open Water
BSAC Club Diver
CMAS
SAA Elementary
NAUI Open Water Diver
and other equivalents
GLUG membership is open to individuals with HIV and other infections, and on the basis of currently accepted specialist medical opinion, recognises the very minimal risk of transmission/infection to other divers. GLUG acknowledges that some complications of HIV may preclude certain people from diving.
GLUG organises discounts for training/certification and for diving equipment with gay-friendly commercial companies/organisations, which will be available to all members on production of their GLUG membership card, or other evidence of membership.
