Kernow Federation of Dive Clubs
We are an association of BSAC dive clubs, mostly in Cornwall (but some in Devon), who meet several times a year to share ideas, training opportunities, and socialise. We have an annual dive festival, and you are welcome to join us.
Join us for the 2026 Kernow Dive Festival!
5th – 7th June 2025
It’s our 24th Anniversary!

2025 Kernow Dive Festival – Smashed all records!
Last year, Kernow Dive Festival raised over £7,300 for DDRC Healthcare in Plymouth; this year, we’ve raised a phenomenal £8,550! This brings the total raised by the festival for DDRC to £69,760!
This is primarily thanks to the fantastic support the event receives from the clubs attending, the diving industry and local businesses, who contribute significantly to the raffle and auction fundraising activities on the Saturday night.
