The Canadian Sub-Aqua Club is a SCUBA club based in the York Region of the Greater Toronto Area. We are a non-profit

SCUBA club founded in 1957 that meets to dive, learn, and train new divers in a safe, professional environment. Club

membership is open to all; new or experienced divers or anyone who wishes to learn more about SCUBA.

We welcome anyone who has ever even been remotely interested in scuba to join us at one of our SCUBA open houses. Held several times a year, it is an opportunity to come out and learn a little more about the sport of SCUBA and put on your bathing suit to try out SCUBA equipment in the pool.

Our next OPEN HOUSE is Monday January 16th 2012.

With year round activities, CanSAC continues to meet long after the local dive season winds down. We meet every Monday evening in the Thornlea pool between 8:30 and 9:30 and interested persons are welcome to come out and meet us and perhaps join us for some wings after the pool. We hold regular pub nights as well as the occasional bowling night or a BBQ picnic and families and friends are always welcome. 

At Cansac, we offer two Open Water Diver courses each year - one in the fall and one in the winter - as well as Advanced and Specialty courses as needed for our members. Divers enrolled in our Open Water course receive a 1 year membership with their course and are strongly encouraged to continue to come out and swim or scuba after their course is completed.

There are many benefits to training and diving with a non-profit profit club like CanSAC. We can spend the requisite time with the students to ensure skill mastery and our 11 week course allows students to enjoy the learning experience.

As a non-profit club, our course fees are set to cover expenses rather than to show a profit and there are no suprise fees for books or rentals. Our instructors and divemasters are volunteers that teach new divers because they enjoy it and they hope that you'll enjoy it too. Our club members have thousands of dives under their combined belts and are always happy to share their knowledge and experience with anyone who wants to listen.

 Learning with a club like CanSAC also offers you the opportunity to dive all season long with experienced divers on organized local dives. Ontario offers a multitude of incredible sites for both new and advanced divers to explore. The Great Lakes are Mecca for shipwreck divers due to the huge numbers of intact shipwrecks, many of which are hundreds of years old. Even if you're a "down south only" diver, we have group trips heading south of the board every winter.

If you are interested in learning to dive, or want to know that you have a safe group of divers to dive with all season long. Come out and see what the Canadian Sub-Aqua Club has to offer. We meet every Monday night for our swim night, and more often than not, there is a training session or lecture in the classroom before we swim. Classes and lectures are open to all club members, anytime. It is a great way to learn a new skill or brush up on some you may have learned years ago.
