Simon Rogerson reports from a day of diving , talks and calorific cake consumption at Capernwray Dive Centre

The sun shines on Capernwray

Divers from 33 dive clubs made the pilgrimage to Capernwray Dive Centre in Lancashire to mark BSAC ’ s 70th Anniversary .

The event was a triumph of organisation , thanks to North West Regional Coach Stephen Dorricott and his team of helpers . Blessed with sunshine , it was very much an outdoors celebration , though a series of talks and presentations were available .
Meanwhile , various stands and exhibitors had set up by the lakeside , with the notable presence of blue fleece-clad representatives from BSAC HQ and a busy Rebreather Try Dive team . There were also sessions dedicated to trying out scooters and Apeks computers , in addition to photography workshops .
