Clydebanksac BSAC Compressor Operators Course

The Life-blood of any Diving Club is compressed air to breathe underwater, so last night (20th January) several Clydebanksac members attended a BSAC Compressor Operators Course at the Club Premises. The Course consisted of lectures, demonstrations and then "hands on" activity. [photos: James Huke]

CONGRATULATIONS to Chris Thompson and Harry McGinley, who both recently completed their BSAC Ocean Diver Awards in the chilly winter waters of the Capernwray Dive Centre,near Carnforth in the North of England. Particularly well done doing all this in the middle of winter.
