Formerly known as the South African Underwater Union (SAUU), the SAUSF has been responsible for the administrative duties of all underwater sports in South Africa. This originally included boating in connection with diving, and scuba training and recreational diving, but these two aspects of underwater sport developed into commercial activities and split from the SAUU to SASCA and CMAS-ISA respectively, whereas the competitive amateur sports like underwater hockey, spearfishing, finswimming and free diving remained with SAUU.[2]

gollark: It charges faster than usual but is *maybe* destroying the battery.
gollark: I have a nice 3-port one which can do 2A per port for my phone and stuff.
gollark: I think when I tested it it could boot, but had voltage warning errors all the time, which seemed worrying.
gollark: And I don't have a spare PSU anywhere.
gollark: 5V1A is *probably* not enough for it to run itself + a HDD at high load.
