Secretary: Adrian Griffiths
I have been in the club for around 10years, and have been treasurer and membership, as well as Secretary previously. I leant to dive with PADI in 2004 and found a club, joined BSAC when I was seeking a little bit more than the local adhoc diving that was going on with a small group of friends. I dive a good old Inspiration Classic, somewhat like myself, getting on in years, but if you treat it nice, it still behaves itself though generally with a distinct lack of frills. My priority roles are to encourage the club to dive safely, often, and return with a great big smile on your face.
Treasurer: Dimitris Papakonstantis
Dimitris, is the membership secretary and treasurer of the club as well as the website designer and point of contact of the “Contact Me” form.
Dimitris started diving in the Red Sea as a PADI Open Water diver in 2005.
Diving Officer (DO): Matthew Firth
"I have been in the club since 2019, and took my first committee position as DO in 2025. I am responsible for safe club diving.
Originally learnt to dive abroad with PADI, with my first dip in Cyprus in 2003. In 2010 I decided to try out UK diving and joined a ScotSAC club before switching to a BSAC club throughout university then crossing over my instructor qualifications.
Upon moving back to the Aberdeen area in 2019, I joined Deeside. Been diving a JJ rebreather since 2019 and have a selection of other agency technical tickets. GUE, IANTD, etc. If it’s metallic or dark I’m there.
Equipment Officer (EO): Simon Hawksley
