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.  This quickly became a major rescue when the adult male stopped breathing and his instructor called for help.  The casualty was recovered onto the boat and given rescue breaths and cardiac compression.  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... [Read the full story]

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.

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...
