about the Dive club

The Nairobi Sailing Club was formed in 1957 and amalgamated with the Kenya Sub Aqua Club to form the Nairobi Sailing and Sub Aqua Club (NSSAC) in 1985. The club is now mainly a sub-aqua club (commonly called the Dive Club) as unfortunately sailing in Nairobi has ceased due to the water hyacinth weed on Nairobi Dam.

The Dive Club has a large club house with a 20m pool, 2 bars, bathroom facilities including showers and 2 lecture rooms.

The Dive Club is affiliated to the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) and is registered as a BSAC Branch allowing us to train members to their highest standards. The Dive Club also welcomes members from various other dive organizations, i.e. PADI, SSI etc. and are able to train them to higher levels. The BSAC website has some information on diving in Kenya.

In 2008, the Dive Club merged with the Mountain Club of Kenya (MCK) and the joined clubs now share the NSSAC meeting facilities off Langata Road, Nairobi up the road from Langata Shopping Centre (across the highway from Carnivore Restaurant).

The Dive Club meets every Wednesday from 19:30 for lectures, special events, and dive trip planning - visitors are welcomed. Although the clubs focus on very different activities they operate in a very similar way. Both are members’ clubs offering opportunities to take part in activities with like-minded people, to develop skills and experience in specific outdoor activities and to explore Kenya and beyond. Dive Club members are automatically MCK members and vice versa.
