A lesson in shot recovery
A recent weekend in Newhaven provided a perfect opportunity for Dean, Kirstie and I to do one of the Dive Leader drills, DO4 Shot Recovery, on a second dive. It was agreed that Gren would take Kirstie and me in on Saturday while Dean would do the drill on the Sunday.
It was sunny as we [...]
Blast from the past: July 1974
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. This month sees us [...]
Alan Dunster: Wreck Detective
For those who’ve only heard the rumours of the pots of gold (OK, brass!) in Alan Dunster’s garage check out Leigh Bishop’s article in the July issue of Diver magazine which details the efforts to identify a Channel ghost ship, “Identity Crisis” and name-checks our very own wreck detective Uncle Al.
Newhaven: Familiar but fantastic!

Wraysbury Training Day
A slideshow of photos from last Saturday’s Ocean and Sports Diver training day at Wraysbury.
The weather was an interesting mix of sun, hail and midges. For some it was their first open water dive but all emerged smiling if a little (or in some cases a lot!) cold. There were the odd hitches with at [...]
Mark Mumford’s photographic talk
It is to Mark’s credit that he didn’t take one look at the snow falling outside and just stay at home. Luckily for us he didn’t, and he was welcomed by a good crowd of K&E members and visitors who had turned up to hear him speak.
Luckily for the non-technical amongst us, Mark’s talk was [...]

Boat Handling SDC
Dave Tresidder arranged for the Boat Handling SDC to be run at Kingston & Elmbridge. This handily meant that 15 of us could do the course with the theory lessons held over several Thursday nights at the club with group split into two for a day’s practical session each.
The theory lessons began with basic boat [...]
