7th June, 2008: The aim was to do 50 dives at least, in one day at Cromhall Quarry, and possibly get a few of our dormant divers wet again.

2 down, 48 to go – Neil and Duncan kitting up on the tyre.

Entertainment included an exciting underwater treasure hunt and .. lots of diving !

Sally and Terry – come on, heave! Mandy doing dive logs, and Mary keeping an overview on her organisation!

Cyril and Stewart with er, birthday cake? Look at all those divers in the background – poor old newts!

Duncan and Neil return, smiling – the weather helped, just a bit.

John and Duncan coming back, looking ecstatic after such an interesting dive.

Tim and Nigel. – a first for Nigel?

50 up !

We achieved the 50 dives and lots of smiling divers emerged from the deep (well 14 m) and into the sunshine.
