Farne Islands rescue
September 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment
During the August Bank Holiday dive, at the Farne Islands, Kingston & Elmbridge became involved in the rescue of an adult male diver from another organisation and his 12 year old son, who were diving with an instructor.

The initial part pf the rescue was carried out by branch members then the resuscitation was co-ordinated and led by a doctor who was also on the boat, with a major involvement...

Dive Leader Weekend
July 9, 2010 · Comments Off
We are planning a weekend of diving the slightly deeper wrecks out of Newhaven on 24th and 25th July. We will most likely dive the Ashford http://www.divernet.com/Wrecks/wreck_tours/159413/wreck_tour_65_the_ashford.html which the club dived for the first time 2 weeks ago and had some fantastic vis (8 to 10m) dives on a relatively intact 120 year old vessel in 41m of water. We also hope to dive the Vasco (39m) that we found at the same time but have yet to dive. And finally as there are two slacks on the Saturday we may try and dive a small object that we found last year that some reports say... [Read the full story]

History
Blast from the past: June 1976
June 7, 2009 · Comments Off
I have slowly been prising old copies of the Club’s newsletter (‘Triton’ then ‘OK’) out of Uncle Al’s hands and now have a year’s worth of news, reviews and comment from years gone by which I plan to revisit each month to see what the hot topics of the day were.

Ibiza 2010
After several setbacks: people dropping out, Jim Molyneux breaking his ankle, and it snowing in Ibiza the day before we arrived, we finally got the very early Easyjet flight from Gatwick. We were met by a very chirpy talkative character named Jeff Richardson from the Seahorse diving centre, who transferred us to...
