About Us

Our club has existed for some time. Looking back through our records, we have established that the club was formed in 1967.  Our most senior member of the club recalls the club was known as 'The Dolphins'.  The name Xarifa (taken from the vessel used by pioneering underwater film maker, Hans Hass) was adopted shortly afterwards and the club was based in Hazel Grove, Cheshire.  The use of the pool in Dukinfield was started on the 1st April 1970.  We were formerly accepted into the British Sub-Aqua Club, as an open membership branch - BSAC number 1071, on the 7th February 1979.

We dive all around the UK, our particular favourite areas are Oban, Scapa Flow, St Abbs & N. Wales. Our diving is primarily done in the UK, however, we have visited some foreign destinations - SW Ireland, Gozo, Lanzarote & Eilat.

We are based at Dukinfield Swimming Pool, Birch Lane, Dukinfield, E. Manchester.  Our pool session takes place on Wednesdays , between 7.45 and 8.45 pm.  After the wet meeting, we meet at the Albion Pub at the junction of Birch Lane & Jeffreys Drive, Dukinfield (250 metres from the pool)

We have a boat - a Rigid-hull Inflatable Boat (4.9 metre Humber with 60hp engine, centre console, GPS, echo-sounder & VHF radio).  We hope to acquire a new RIB to complement our existing one.  We also have a compressor which we has now been installed in a purpose made housing at Dukinfield pool.
