As featured in this month's DIVE magazine, congratulations to the Darkstar team, who were the first recreational divers to dive the Empress of Britain, which lies at 160m, 50 miles off the coast of Ireland.
The expedition was led by Mark Dixon, with George Mair as reserve skipper and bottom divers Jeff Cornish, Steve Slater, Duncan Keates and Paul Mee.
The support divers on the trip (also getting a mention in the magazine) were two of our very own SYSAC members, Tim Cashman and Mark Evans. Feel free to buy them a beer on Wednesday.
