The Prince of Wales renews BSAC Presidency
His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, has extended his Presidency of the British Sub-Aqua Club for a further three-year term.
The Prince of Wales has held the position since 1974. His involvement with the club stems back to the early 1970s when he dived on King Henry VIII’s flagship, the Mary Rose, submerged in the Solent for 437 years.
BSAC works closely with the Marine Conservation Society, of which The Prince of Wales is also President. The two organisations are currently involved in the ‘Marine Reserves Now’ lobbying campaign for greater protections to be extended to British coastal waters.
“We are delighted that The Prince of Wales has been able to renew his involvement with BSAC,” said Marcus Allen, BSAC’s chairman. “He is the greatly respected face of BSAC and a highly effective ambassador for diving and snorkelling in the UK. His Royal Highness’s commitment to both the sport and to marine conservation also reinforces BSAC’s key role in the development, safety and enjoyment of diving for all.”
