The Club

The Club

Our club CERN Subaquatic Club / Club Subaquatique du CERN is an official CERN club, and is open to everyone - to members of the organisation and to the general public. We are affiliated to the French federation of underwater sports FFESSM, (Club number: 14010148). The FFESSM gives qualifications according to the CMAS system which are recognised around the world.

We are united by our passion for scuba diving. Exploring together the marvels of the underwater life in the lakes nearby and the seas far away. We provide schools for members to advance in qualification, conduct lectures in our own classroom, train in the swimming pool in Geneva and also organise various social activities. 

Our club is run by volunteers who organize diving outings, training and loan of essential equipment. You can borrow: regulators, buoyancy jackets, cylinders and various other items. The tanks can be filled with Air, Nitrox or Trimix - depending on the dive and your diving qualifications. 

If you are interested in joining - either to learn how to dive or as a certified diver (CMAS, PADI, SSI,..), feel free to contact us. If you need more information please check the FAQ or contact us at: Club.Subaquatique@cern.ch. Our member page is: https://cern-scuba-club.vpdive.com/ - there you will find the latest news.

We are officially French and English speaking, but have members of many nationalities and can thus accommodate many other languages if needed.
