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]
The WASAC was one of four NGBs representing Sub Aqua in the constituent countries of the United Kingdom. The others are the Northern Ireland Federation of Sub-Aqua Clubs (Northern Ireland) and the Scottish Sub Aqua Club (Scotland), in addition to the British Sub Aqua Club, the NGB for the whole United Kingdom; a role it has held since 1954.[1][3]
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).[4]
The WASAC was based at Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen, Neath Port Talbot.[5]
The WASAC was replaced by the British Sub Aqua Club as the governing body for Sub Aqua in Wales from January 2016.[6]
