A web page giving a history of my diving from car innertube to heavy lift vessel, during a time span of 20 years.
I started my diving with the local HULL BSAC club,were i reached second class diver stage. I then went on to forming my own Diving Company (HUMBER DIVERS Ltd)with a Herbert Robinson, We started with a 65ft mfv "Fame" then worked our way up in size to 230ft Heavy Lift Vessel "RECOVERY".
During the 20 years we carried out salvage of cargos from first and second world war wrecks, dispersal of dangerous wrecks for Trinity House, British Gas contract work, hiring of work boats on contracts, which included BBC Television (ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES), we also purchased a night club called Seven Seas, which was a Divers Club

The above is only a brief outline, and the following pages will give you a insight by way of pictures and text
