Hi just to keep you all informed that the event is now planned for 17th Nov diving on to the wreck called Rotorura (58m to the sea bed)

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Child Victims Of Crime will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

I personally believe that as divers, we're all a pretty lucky bunch of people being able to experience the shear wonders of the under water world, we all know how stunning it can be! However there are some people that haven't had such wonderful experience in life!

So I'am planning on jumping in at the deep end to complete a deep/technical dive between 50-60 meters, using a mixture of gases called Tri-mix. I will be carrying over 5500 litres of Helium/Oxygen/Nitrogen along with 1600 litres 50% Oxygen and another 1600 litres of pure Oxygen, so he can safely complete 20-25mins (bottom time) dive with another 40-50mins (off gassing) prior to surfacing.

Why go to these lengths or should we say depths :o/ Well the Police do a great job of helping to keep our children safe and prosecutes those who think they can take advantage of the child's innocents and to see a charity that helps with aftermaths, goes beyond their call of duty! They know what the child has been though and what would really help them along the road of recovery!

Where will I be diving to these depths? I'am just completing my research at the moment and there is amazing history behind some of these wrecks, all being well (with the weather) I've got the list down to 4 wrecks in Lyme Bay, down on the south coast of Devon / Cornwall.

Here is a brief description of what "Child Victims of crime" charity does:
 
Our aim is to provide material support for any child victim up to and including the age of 16 years who has been a victim of, or traumatised by any criminal offence committed in the UK.  These children are nominated to us only by serving police officers.

We receive at least 30 referrals a month from polices forces across the country seeking support for children whose lives have been shattered by crimes such as violence, abuse and murder. 

Individual officers who have been working with the children are in a unique position to make these nominations.  Having worked with the children, they understand the pain and suffering that these innocent victims are going through, and can often suggest the best way to put a little bit of fun and "normality" back into their lives.
