Donegal Bay Sub Aqua Club (DBSAC) was established in March 1988, by a small group of keen swimmers mainly from Donegal Town, and who completed a short snorkelling course, organised by a local qualified diver and who after a “try-a-dive” were “hooked” and hence the seeds to form a club were sown.  From the earliest days the Club has gone from strength to strength with members trained and qualified in all diving and instructor grades.  The Club has maintained a steady membership over the past 30 + years.

In addition to diving, one of the greatest achievements was the building of a Club House in Killymard (outside Donegal Town) in 1994, this was a total voluntary effort and great credit is due to the members at that time.  .  In addition there are training/meeting room and a number of store rooms.

Donegal bay Sub Aqua Club also provide a fully trained community based volunteer Search and Recovery Unit, should they be needed in the times of water based tragedies.
