Windermere Debris Dive

Debris Day Img_2411
Yesterday ProScuba took part in a mammouth event in the Lake district. Over 300 divers, 200 hundred land volunteers collecting rubbish from lake Windermere. An idea by by Paul Rose, explorer & TV Presenter got this all moving. So we joined him and all the others to do our bit.

I was not diving Very Happy but was volunteering my services as one of the two MEDICS providing emergency cover. But I was not even required for a plaster!

The area was divided up, I was based at the the most remote loacation. Cockshott point was our bit for two dives. Thank you you to the National trust for letting me drive right up to the shore.

Here are few pictures of the day - sorry I've no underwater images Debris Day 99545
