The Gay & Lesbian Underwater Group (GLUG) is a non-profit scuba diving club for LGBT divers and their friends.

The group has over 100 members (around 45% women, 55% men), throughout the UK, and their ages range from mid-20s to late 50s.

At least ten dive trips are organised each year, in the UK and overseas. There are occasional combined trips with other gay and lesbian scuba clubs in other parts of the world. There are also monthly social evenings in the Duke of Wellington, Wardour Street.[1]

The club is aimed at the gay community, but has welcomed several enlightened straight divers who find the club a refreshing change from the very macho, hetero-male environment found in many other scuba clubs.
