Hell's teeth...shark's teeth!
Advanced Diver training at Wittering is anything but toothless
What's the perfect way to finish off a sunny bank holiday? Why, drag your friends up and down a steep shingle beach of course! And so it was that a group of Holborn AD trainees headed down to Wittering to slog up and down the beach in order to perfect their shore rescue skills. A hard day yes, but a good experience also, as you can find out by reading the full trip report in our Going Diving section.

If you haven't already done so, why not download Holborn's very own iPad magazine; TwoThreeTwo. Believed to be the first (and only?) iPad magazine for a BSAC branch the publication is packed with articles on UK and tropical diving, underwater photography, stories of incidents and a marine biology Q&A from the club’s own ‘Dr Dave’. There is also a photographic delve into the club’s 50 year history.
