It's been a busy couple of weeks on our end with preparation for the upcoming 60 hour dive challenge, but we are enjoying every moment of it! Training for the longest scuba dive in warm water has begun with dives taking place regularly as we build up to the day of the event. The first of thestraining dives took place on the 27th of July during which Sean was submerged for 5 hours accompanied by various members of the dive team. During their time underwater the team had a great time trying out their new Thermulation heated undersuits courtesy of Premier Diving Equipment. These kept everyone quite snug throughout the training dive. To top it off the team were delighted to have a spectator watching their every more; an adorable seahorse.
The main scope behind these training dives is for the team to be able to test out the new sponsored kit so as to ensure that all team members are comfortable with the configurations they have chosen to use during the record event. With that being said, we would like to say a massive thank you to M&A Diving Supplies, who on behalf of Apeks, Aqualung and Whites Drysuits, have supported us for many consecutive years now, as well as to Thermulation and Premier Diving Equipment who have recently hopped on board in supporting our events. Sean and the team are extremely content with all the kit being provided by these leading international companies and strongly recommend these products to all divers.

These training dives also serve for Sean and the team to build up their stamina in preparation for the 60 hour challenge. For this reason, the duration time spent underwater is increased for every training sessions. The next training dive will take place on Sunday 18th August at Starfish Diving School. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!
