Aims - Promotion of Health and Smoke-Free Environment
Diving South Australia Inc (DSA) is committed to promoting good health and to providing a safe, healthy and accessible environment for all members of the diving community (be they divers, members, coaches or officials). That commitment extends to taking steps to ensure, to the extent reasonably possibly, that the diving environment is smoke-free.
The SAALC which is owned by the State Government and operated by the YMCA, is a smoke-free venue.
