Welsh Association of Sub Aqua Clubs

The Welsh Association of Sub Aqua Clubs (Welsh: Cwmdeithas Clybiau Tanddwr Cymru) (WASAC) was the national governing body (NGB) for sub-aqua in Wales until January 2016. Sub Aqua is a broad term encompassing both recreational underwater activities such as recreational diving and snorkelling, and competitive underwater activities including underwater sports as underwater hockey^[1]^[2]

Although WASAC was responsible for underwater hockey (also known as Octopush), training and management of Wales national squads is controlled by Underwater Hockey Wales (UHW).^[3]

The WASAC was based at Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen, Neath Port Talbot.^[4]

The WASAC was replaced by the British Sub Aqua Club (the official NGB for the entire United Kingdom) as the governing body for Sub Aqua in Wales from January 2016.^[5]
