Submarine Escape

Training Tank (SETT)

 

Fort Blockhouse , Haslar, Gosport

Wed 7th November 07

Well clocks are back and it's winter, so with thoughts of last Summer fading fast, what better way to keep warm and dived up, then paying a vist to the SETT.

So it's off on our bi-annual visit to the SETT and the prospect of a nice warm bimble at 30m

Warm & nice maybe, but this is still a 30m dive, so all safety protocols and marshalling are applied.

View from Outside

It's almost unreal, you are looking up at this tower block and after getting the kit in and a safety brief you are going to be looking up again, but this time it's .................

Still no time for that, it's off to see the mermaid who it seems had had a bit of make up applied since last time.

Trouble is Chris & Ben can't decide. Do we s**g her or eat her?

Looks like Bens decided. He's puckering up!

But misses and gets her armpit instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chris has a more direct approach

But bombs out and has to sit in the corner with the other 5 year olds.

Ok enough of that, I'm going home!

Meanwhile Rich & Claire are doing their buddy check

And still doing a buddy check!

Got so bad Lucy had to force her way between them!
