Having spend all day* Saturday locked up ploughing through the theory of the BSAC Accelerated Decompression Procedures (ADP) Course the students, Rhodri, Duncan and Pete, were keen to put the theory into practise at Clifton Gardens the following day. The weather couldn’t have been better, clear blue skies and toasty warm water. After a monumental amount of kit phaffing the shake down dives got underway. I am not sure what the beautifully marine life around the legs of the pier made of these divers lumbering past with twin tanks and stages, but it certainly kept the locals on the beach amused.
The lure of the club BBQ and opportunity get the cobwebs off the dive gear drew a good turn out from rest of the club as well. While many didn’t progress beyond the BBQ, some got as far as putting kit together and then still not bothering to make it to the water! Either way a fun day was had by all.
Excluding the pub lunch.
