Sarah & Dan at Horsea Island Jan 2006 photos


Early one cold, grey January morning we headed off to Portsmouth’s Horsea Island to go diving. Not the most exciting of places, but I was lured by the promise of some unusual diving without having to lug all my kit into the car We were diving with some interesting characters from the Historical Diving Society (HDS), or the Hysterical Diving Society as I was calling them by the end of the day. The reason we’d left all of our kit at home was that the HDS were taking us “Hard Hat Diving”, using the old style of brass hats, or “standard dress”, supplied with air from a hand powered compressor on the surface. The icing on cake was the communication unit, allowing diver to surface singing…
