The other lads gave him oxygen treatment straight away and he recovered. It was the end of his diving though. He suffered from a heart shunt and that is what caused the problem. The branch holds one of its regular committee meetings. Several items are discussed and it's decided that a poster campaign is needed to attract more novices after Christmas.
Some members are concerned that too few novices are coming through.
Others argue there isn't enough branch kit to handle any more. Chris also announces plans to register Quest Diver, the branch RIB, with the Coastguard. That way the rescue services know what the boat looks like if a rescue search is mounted. It can also be called to help another boat in distress. Chris is very pleased with the way the Dive Leader training has progressed.
