Pot dive

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Hi All

Just to confirm this Saturday 31st March at 09:30 for a 10:00 start.  Whipps Cross Hospital Decompression chamber for a dry dive.

Whipps Cross hospital is Whipps Cross Rd, E11. the nearest underground station is Leytonstone on the Central Line.  There will be a charge of £40 each. This covers the use of the chamber and a small donation to the friends of the Hospital.  It will take about 2 hours.

This will include a dry dive (it is quite big so there should be plenty of space). Also a presentation by the staff (an ex London Branch member) on the subject of decompression illness.

There are still a few spaces so if you are free & wish to go please email me.

For some newer members who perhaps did not know about this, it’s an oportunity to visit a working chamber.

While it’s best not to need one at all. In the event a visit is required in your diving career it may reduce the stress.

There is no minimum qualification required so please feel free to come along.  There is a very large Pub near by that the medical staff use.  Just need to have numbers for bums on seats.  So far I have Chris H, George V, Joe H, Alex M and Keith G.
