Coco - with that sinking feeling in the training pool

Just 5 minutes more - and I will have been underwater for 5 minutes!!!

	All tanked up - Tony (the instructor) and Simon prepare to get into the water Tony is a PADI diving instructor. This summer he decided to start a diving club where he works. So the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability Diving Club was born. First came the members (us) and then a PADI Open Water course to get us started... The rest - well that's history.
	One small step for a Speech Therapist, one giant stride for Catherine. Catherine was not only the first to pass the course but the first of us to go on a diving holiday, with her partner, in the Red Sea. We are all very jealous!
	Smile please - Pam with her new camera.
	Resting - Catherine and Linda about to start a training dive

Our final qualifying dive was at the Naval Diving centre at Horsea Island near Portsmouth. It is a huge salt water lake originally built to test torpedoes.

	Tony and Linda gear up while Coco keeps chatting up the Divemaster
	I'm ready at last. Just the final Buddy checks with Pam.
	... last one in's a ...?
