Our club

Our club was founded in 1975, based in south Dublin and currently has some 15 members. The club is an affiliated club with Comhairle Fó-Thuinn – Irish Underwater Council (CFT).  CFT is the coordinating body for Underwater Diving Clubs in Ireland and is the representative body for Ireland in the World Underwater Federation (Confédériation Mondiale des Activitiés Subaquatiques – CMAS); so any qualification you receive from CFT will be recognised all over the world.

We organize dive weekends away from Dublin each summer month and, over the years, have dived many parts of the Irish coastline including Hook, Baltimore, Ballinskelligs, Valentia, Dingle, Castlegregory, Kilkee, the Aran Islands, Killary, Inish Bofin, Inish Turk, Clear Island, Mullaghmore, St. John Point, Tory Island, Carrigart, Rathlin Island and Strangford Lough.

Each year we endeavour to find new, exciting destinations for our annual club holiday. In recent years we have made trips to Bonaire (Dutch Antilles) in the Caribean, Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam (Egypt) and Aqaba (Jordan) on the Red Sea, Estartit, Gozo, La Manga, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands in the Mediterranean, Turkey in the Adriatic, Santa Catalina Island off California and the Sea of Cortez in Western Mexico.

Trident Sub-Aqua Club actively encourages new members to join and the club devotes much voluntary time into training new recruits with practical lessons in a swimming pool, lectures and trainee dives in Dublin Bay and throughout the country.



Our compressor is located in our clubhouse, which is situated on the pier at Bulloch Harbour in Dalkey. Between March and November, we dive regularly in Dublin Bay particularly around Dalkey Island and The Muglins.

A 7.2m RIB (rigid hull inflatable boat) was purchased in 2008; it is berthed in Dun Laoghaire Marina.












Welcome to Bulloch Harbour – home of Trident Sub-Aqua Club. The harbour was built in 1817 by the scots engineer Rennie but a settlement has existed here since pre-Christian times.

Today, the residents of Bulloch rent and sells boats, fish and of course SCUBA dive. Our clubhouse is visible on the map – is situated on the left hand seaward side of the pier.
