Dive Society

The New Horizons Dive Society aims to allow like-minded divers to meet, keep on diving and keep in touch with what’s going on. The benefits for Society members include opportunity to explore new dive sites in the UK and abroad. We want to help you to maintain your diving skills through organised workshops or informal pool sessions. You can keep in touch with important developments and upcoming activities through the monthly NHDC Dive Society Social Events

There are three membership levels, each offering a range of benefits enabling you to select the most appropriate membership for your own situation. We also offer discounted memberships for couples and families.

As well as the numerous benefits you will receive as a member of the New Horizons Dive Society (including a regular newsletter telling you about all the courses and trips that have just taken place and are planned for the future), why not join us at our monthly social evenings generally on the first Friday of each month? This is an opportunity for you to meet like-minded divers, catch up on the latest news and offers… and have a few drinks!
