What is the SETT?
The tank is 30 metres deep, around 34°c, 5.5 metres in diameter and as such only groups of two or three can be on the bottom at once. As this group makes its ascent the next pair begin their descent. With fifteen minutes max bottom time there is plenty to keep amused.

The serious purpose behind the SETT is to train our fleet of Submariners in their escape training. They perform three escapes, one from 10m, one from 18m and a final one from 30 metres.

The SETT is an ideal facility for practicing deeper emergency drills in a safe environment, doing work up dives, or staying current for deep dives, or just for the novelty of diving the world's only 30 metre tank. A big "tank" you to Shawn for organising the whole thing, I'm sure this will become a regular event.
