E H T G N SHARI URE ADVENT TODAY Our club: Neil Rickards, Clidive Chair
“This anniversary was an opportunity to see, not just the old members that mentored me into diving, but their mentors, and theirs before that. For many of those older guests, the exciting thing was seeing the enthusiasm of our generation: the photos and drawings, the fantastic boats, the members, the training and diving plans of a lively, active, thriving club. This year our Diver Development Officer excelled herself, supporting an unprecedented four new First Class Divers, and a raft of qualifications and training that is developing our dive managers, Advanced Divers and instructors, as well as deepening our ties with other branches in the local regions. All our senior members, in turn, are better supporting and mentoring the rest of the club and participating themselves in regional and national events. Meanwhile, try-dives and Ocean Diver courses continue to introduce Londoners to the sport. The club is delivering on our mission to Share the Adventure. More generations will get to experience the relaxation, thrill and adventure of our spectacular diving. Our Heinke submission: Nick Barter Heinke Entry co-ordinator
“So many people have worked so hard to make this year special for Clidive, and to make us even stronger for the future. I am delighted we have made this application for the Heinke Trophy. Whatever the outcome, the project to document, share and recognise our achievements has helped us all appreciate them even more.”
