Norman – who is possibly BSAC’s oldest active diver – learnt to dive in 1978 and has been actively involved in scuba diving ever since. A much-loved member of Barry SAC, Norman has continually clocked up his dives and remains passionate about the sport. He dived Scapa Flow at the age of 80 and his most recent dive trip was last November to the Farnes.
To mark his 90th birthday, Norman completed two 8m shore dives off Babbacombe, clocking up 30 minutes underwater for each dive.
Russ Phillips, Barry SAC Training Officer and one of Norman’s regular dive buddies, paid tribute to his friend.
“We all had a great day celebrating Norman’s 90th and it was a pleasure to join him on one of his birthday dives. He is a real inspiration to our club and proof that you are never too old to get out there and get active!” (text borrowed from bsac.com)
