Underwater Photography Talk with ProDiveScuba to raise money for RNLI in Hull, Yorkshire






I have to say that it felt mighty strange going up the M62 to give a talk, but found something very familiar right at the end of it - a huge bridge that looked very similar to Dartfords! The talk was held in an amazing venue, none other than Home Farm's Premier Inn and I must say the food looked extremely lush!

There was a great turnout of around 60 guests, all keen beavers wondering which buttons to press to get fabulous results with their compacts. First we watched a fabulous video on the Farnes with the seals, and then ProDiveScuba's guests were presented with their achievements.

After my talk there was an absolutely brilliant game of Rock and Roll Bingo followed by prizes up for grabs by Beaver and Oceanic as well as a Chinese Meal for Two with all funds raised going towards the RNLI.

It really was a cracking night, and I'll definitely be back for another game of Rock and Roll Bingo and a cheeky dive too! Let's just hope that the M62 doesn't close at nighttime again like it did on the way home, it took me over 2 hours to get back .... A long drive home, but very well worth it :)

Hi Maria, it was so lovely to meet you, and I would like to think you are now part of our diving family. As to the talk we found it to be a very informative and entertaining presentation, we have had extremely positive feedback from people all day and also mass disappointment from people who couldn't make it! We are very grateful to you to take the time to visit us at Pro-Dive Scuba in Hull and would strongly recommend you to any other club that is interested in learning more on DUP, you were so approachable and helpful to everyone.
