Divetrack Competition
The DiveTrack competition is now well underway and the BSAC has received some exciting registrations and ideas.The competition is In memory of Penny Glover and Jacques Filippi who were lost as a result of a diving accident on the 21st November 2005. They were using rebreathers at a depth of 80 metres . It was 7 weeks later that their bodies were discovered and only then by an expensive and privately funded search and discovery vessel. The competition combines diving and engineering – Penny Glover’s two great loves.
The actual competition is to develop and manufacture a simple, easy to use and inexpensive device that ensures divers and others who have gone missing can be easily found
A prize of £5,000.00 will be awarded to the winning design.
If you are interested in the competition, you can speak to Fiona Denny, at The London International Dive Show , March 10/11 where Fiona, will be promoting the competition around the rebreather pool. Alternatively you can read more about it here.
