This event is held annually at Ring Farm, Carrrs
Lane, Cudworth near Barnsley with the South Yorkshire Police.
The day started overcast and cool but by the end of the day the
sun was shining.
Four dives took place over the day in a 10 foot
glass tank, with police divers and HDS members demonstrating old
and new diving equipment.
John Smillie did the first HDS dive wearing a Siebe
Gorman 6 bolt helmet and the second dive was done by Howard Dykes
demonstrating a 12 bolt helmet.
John Buxton and new member Andrew Hamill pumped
air to the diver and used the diver's comms unit. Geoff Smethurst
provided a commentary and answered questions from the audience.
Our merchandising stand was ably manned by Una Smilllie,
Di King and Carol Farr.
