Welcome to RESDA

The Royal Engineers Sports Diving Association was formed on the 1st Jan 09. It was formed from the Gib-UK dive club after it was recognised as a sport by the RE sports board and given funding to assist in equipment maintenance and to purchase new equipment. RESDA is the most active BSAC dive club within the British Army, much of its success is due to it being a joint military / civilian club.

The club meets every Wednesday between 7 and 9pm, at Gibraltar Barracks pool, in Minley and anyone is free to visit. Try dives occur on the last Wednesday of each month.
