Trafford Sub-Aqua Club - 24 Hour Relay Dive
On
Friday, August 14th 2009, 16 divers from Trafford
Sub-Aqua Club will be doing a 24 hour relay dive at Eccleston Delph,
which is a flooded quarry in Chorley.
The dive basically consists of 16 divers (8 buddy pairs) who each do 6 dives in relay, over a 24 hour period.
The
plan is to have 2 divers on the 6M platform for the whole of the 24
hours, which involves each diver kitting up and getting in the water,
every 3 1/2 hours.
The divers will not be moving from the platform, they will be stationary at all times.
The event starts with the first 2 divers joining the platform at 8PM in the evening and will finish 24 hours later.
We are sure you will agree that this is going to be a tiring task and will
require all divers to concentrate and stay alert at all times so that
there are no incidents.
Why?
In 2007 our Equipment Officer, Phil Makin Sr, suffered a heart attack and it's thanks to the research of the
British Heart Foundation and the wonders of modern technology that he
is still with us today.
Unfortunately, it isn't always a happy ending for some people. Many of us have lost someone dear through heart disease - sadly it's Britain's biggest killer.
Please have a think about the importance of this charity and donate accordingly.
Thanks for reading and donating, it is highly appreciated!
