Welcome to Keighley BSAC
Paul, Paul joined us earlier in 2007 from Lowestoft BSAC, as well as talking with a funny accent, Paul is keen to get wet and rummage around with his snorkel, recently finding a dragon in Windermere. His highlight so far diving up North, has been in the Hodge Close quarry, a high altitude dive in the Lake District, with an approach not for the faint hearted, or tall.
Janet, Currently training, and now Janet has enjoyed watching both husband and son dive and now wants some of the action herself in between travelling the world and enjoying retirement with John.
Bob, aptly named for a diver - One of the newer members currently qualifying for ocean diver. Had his first open water dive at Capernwray and has just enjoyed his first sea dive at St. Abbs.
Albie, recently joined us and is currenty training in the pool. A decent bloke and has braved a winter at Wastwater assisting dive managing, is now on the market for a new waterproof and boots.
Andy - Andy, can only be described as a larger than life character akin to those found in a Clive Cussler novel, Dirk Pitt etc. A true swashbuckler, his name causes fear in the minds of men and lust in the hearts of women. He is always to be found at the sharp end of any adventure. Yet behind this macho persona resides a man of culture and sophistication. A true blessing to the club. - (Anon submission).
Dave - Nothing phases Dave, a cracking bloke & a solid diver, some say he was encouraged into diving to save others hearing his jokes.
Clare - Since enjoying her first open water dive at Wastwater there has been no looking back. Always up for a giggle and a post dive refreshment pint.
Barnacle Barry - Barry is a solid member of the club, never dives without his bootspag and keen for a dive in any muddy puddle.
Brett - Speedmeister, and great diver has more boys toys than Jeremy Clarkson.
Suzanne - After introducing Brett to diving she fell into the trap herself and is great fun at the club and can cook a mean BBQ.
Chris - A solid diver with many tales of the world to tell, from research in the Arctic to gliding , he is also lucky enough to be working at Divers Warehouse.
Jack - (Aka "the good looking one with the dark hair") A great guy and diver, has no apparant fear. Wants to start his own country and bar bad drivers. Finally persuaded me to come diving in the Lakes after years of protest, I haven't looked back. His curent grin is attributable to coming ahead of an ex-rugby team mate in the 2007 Skipton Triathalon.
Laura - Cracking lass with a permanent cheeky grin, Laura finds a new and alternative ways to dive on some of her trips. Only recently found out that when driving through the countryside with Jack, that the country itself doesn't smell that bad.
John - A great member of the club and a man with many talents in between spending Jack's inheritance travelling, John is also assisting with the training team and qualified as an OWI in September 2007.
Rob - Usualy opens his mouth only to remove one foot and replace it with the other, & OK, I like beefburgers.
Grayeam - Grayeam is one of the clubs instructors and secretary he's the guy behind the scenes keeping everything together. You may spot a slight military style in instruction, just be careful when unzipping his suit, he tends to off-gas in alternative ways.
Phil - Our Diving Officer and part of the training team. When not charming the ladies, Phil can be found passing on his knowledge and being extremely patient.
Simon - A welcome addition to our club and training to be an ocean diver along with Graham Clay. Simon's first open water dive at Windermere has been thwarted by a self induced hand injury...however, we're sure he'll be back with a vengence very soon.
Graham - Graham has been enjoying his ocean diving skills development buddying wiht Simon. Another great addition to the club and looking forward to his first weekend away in Windermere. Let's see if the murky depths dampen his enthusiasm at all!
