So join up. There will be a lot to discuss, from training programmes, methods and standards, legislation and opportunities. So if you are interested in this from professional to sport diving. Here you are.
That said, closest I will go to underwater is putting my head under in the bath!

I have a recurring nightmare where I'm mattocking away in a slowly flooding trench. In that kind of a funny dream logic kind of a way I know that every one else can breath underwater, but I can't. In in that funny dream kind of a way it never occurs to me to get out of the trench and on to the ground surface, which is full of pedestrians going about their business. I just dig and record in chest deep water, mournfully aware that I will soon drown.
Yeah, pumps that start are great. Mostly, they just need a little tlc by someone who actually knows how they work.

Sorry for delay, had missed your post. I actually once had the inconvenience of myself, a colleague and half the site we were digging getting washed away on a bright warm sunny day cos some dumbo in the quarry control room hit the wrong switch and turned on a huge pump about half a mile away - never did find my trowel or the finds :face-crying:
