The Committee is made up of elected members of the club, each with their own responsibilities. You can reach the whole committee by using the Contact Us page, or find each of our individual contact details below.

Daniel Muir
President

Hi all, I’m Dan. I am the new president of the UBUC after having been so unfortunate as to complete all my training up to Sports Diver with this club. All that motivates me is getting divers in the water and doing it (right), so come to me whenever you think something needs improving and I will give it my best. It’s my pleasure to introduce the committee that will be joining me this year; I wish you all fair weather and cavernous eustachian tubes.

Liws Kocela
Vice President

Hi Guys, I'm Liw a Physics PhD student and the new Vice-president. After a busy year of training members as training officer last year, I wanted to take on a more chill role of supporting the club and focus on my own training. Maybe one day I'll finally finish my Dive Leader. Can't wait to meet you all and take part in a lot more fun diving this year!

Lewis Hope
Diving Officer

Hi, I'm Lewis. After spending the last year as the clubs president I now get to enjoy a slightly more relaxing run as the clubs diving officer. As DO I'm responsible for making sure that all the clubs diving is safe and fun, it's my job to help oversee all trips and training within the club so if you want to go diving please reach out to me!!

Oliver Lee
Treasurer

Hey everyone! I'm Olly and I'll be your new treasurer for the next year. I got into diving quite recently starting with UBUC last year and am now hoping to get my sports diver training finished off so I can go on more and more dives. I also decided I wanted to be part of the committee to get even more stuck in. When I'm not faffing with my mask and regs I'll be faffing with the accounts and trying my hardest not to embezzle funds (a joke I promise!!).

Alex Elwood
Training Officer

Hi, I’m Alex. I learned to dive with UBUC during my third year at Bristol and I have since become addicted to the underwater world. I’ve since progressed to become a Dive Leader and Open Water Instructor. During my fourth year, I was the club Secretary and I’m now looking forward to taking on the role of Training Officer. Although I’ve now graduated, I’ll be sticking around Bristol to continue to get my fix of diving with UBUC. If you have any questions about any training, from beginner to technical level courses, drop me an email, or message, or come and find me at the pub!

Kaden Elsey
Equipment Officer

Hi everyone i’m Kaden, i’m a 4th year engineering student and will be your new equipment officer! My job will be to make sure all the kit is safe and ready to be used for trips (there are far too many engineers on the committee this year to not have working ribs 🤞). If you can’t find me, chances are i’m hanging onto some dead coral trying to get a cool picture, or eating. I’ve been told I can come across quite unapproachable at first, so if you want to come and say hi - please don’t.

Sam Norrington
Assistant Equipment Officer

Hi, I’m Sam and I am going into my 2nd year studying civil engineering. I only joined the club this last year and have (just about) completed my OD. Despite my evident lack of diving experience, I’m excited to take on the role of Assistant Equipment Officer and learn more about diving and the club. I will be working alongside the Equipment Officer and other members of the club to keep all the kit in tip-top condition.

Dom Binns
Secretary

Hello everyone! I'm Dom, a soon-to-be second-year computer science and electronics student. I'll be taking on the role of secretary, handling all your email and membership renewal needs. I'm super excited to get more hands-on with the club, from working behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly, to going to the pub, and (Poseidon willing) doing copious amounts of diving.

Luis Nunes
Boats Officer

Hello everyone, I'm Luis and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new Boats Officer! I've been a proud member of UBUC since 2022 and am a third-year mechanical engineering student, so I like to think I know my way around a boat (or at least how to fix one!). When I'm not submerged in textbooks or the ocean, you might find me tinkering with engines to get them up and running - or at least attempting to. I'm looking forward to many exciting and safe expeditions with all of you so here's to smooth sailing and even smoother diving!

Eloise James
Social Secretary

Hi everyone, I’m Eloise, one of your new social secs! I’m going into my 3rd year of law, and I’m currently an assistant instructor. I love diving but I also love a good social event. I will be posting polls for what activities people most want to do throughout the year, so please vote! I’m super excited to plan loads of fun events and can’t wait to see you all at them!

Georgia Weston
Social Secretary

Hi, I’m Georgia, I’m a second year medical student with a passion for all things underwater. I got my open water qualifications on my year out and have enjoyed continuing my diving journey in the uk this year to get my SD - even if it is decidedly colder and less tropical. I can’t wait to get more involved in the club this year and chat all things diving with everyone at some fun socials throughout the year!

Kai Harper
Sustainability and Equality Officer

Hi everyone I’m Kai, your new equality and sustainability officer! I’m going into my 3rd year of zoology, and I’m currently a sports diver. If you’ve ever met me you’ve probably been subjected to my marine mammal obsession in some capacity. But I say what’s better for a sustainability officer in a diving club than someone who can’t get enough of marine life. (apologies in advance for the inevitable seal spiel you’ll probably receive when chatting to me)
