Tyneside 114 is not a profit making organisation and therefore only needs to raise enough money to cover its running costs.

Membership of Tyneside 114 and BSAC gives you access to club equipment and events. Our affiliation to BSAC provides third party liability insurance cover and the top quality monthly SCUBA magazine, amongst other benefits.

The branch adult subscription fee for 2017 is £72, on top of which there is a BSAC membership fee which varies depending on qualification. For most adult diving members it will cost about £130 per year in total. Discounts are available for family members, students, junior members and snorkel members. It is possible for most members to pay by direct debit/standing order so membership is great value at around £10 per month.
