Find out what it was like diving at the beginning of the last century. Known as Hard Hat
Diving, sometimes Standard Dress you will experience how it must have been in the
pioneering days of commercial diving... brass helmet and all.
Do a 50 meter logged dive without getting wet. Each year we are guests at the Diver
Training College, near York, for this two event day.
1. The first is the hard hat dive itself
In full standard dress with communications you get to experience what it
was like to dive in the pioneering days of commercial diving. They have a
superb 6 metre tank where complete with full “standard dress” you can
experience surface fed diving, brass helmet and lead boots. Brilliant picture
opportunities abound.
No specialist training is required so this is open to all qualified divers
(experienced or not).
2. The other section is the re-compression chamber dive
The chamber holds six at a time and you get taken down to 50 metres. This
alone is worth the trip. Narked out of your scull, even our Mike’s jokes are
funny. One time we watched a fly trying to take off in air six times thicker
than normal - a narked fly at half speed!!!
Watch a piece of neoprene almost halve in thickness before your very eyes,
see a tennis ball become the size of a ping-pong ball, wave your hands and
watch the air move. Add to this lunch, and you can understand why this is
one of our most popular trips. Unfortunately there are no facilities for
spectators.
