Sub Aqua Club - Sheffield Branch - Diving into Unconventional Fun
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1973, we are transported to the depths of an extraordinary underwater endurance test. The Sub Aqua Club - Sheffield Branch members, John Caldwall, Sylvan Boler, and Stuart Ellis, don their full diving gear with oxygen tanks, masks, and wet suits as they embark on a remarkable 40-hour challenge. But what sets this image apart is the unexpected twist that awaits us. Amidst the serene blue waters lies a scene of unusual amusement – a game of chess! Determined not to let boredom sink in during their subaquatic endeavor, these adventurous souls have ingeniously devised a way to pass the time by playing chess with weighted magnetic pieces. As they strategize each move beneath the waves, their dedication and passion for both diving and intellectual pursuits shine through. Bob Rendle's snapshot captures not only the physical prowess required for such an undertaking but also showcases the camaraderie shared among these divers. Their smiles behind their masks reveal a sense of joy amidst this unconventional setting. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder that even in challenging circumstances, human ingenuity can find ways to bring fun and entertainment into our lives. It immortalizes an unforgettable moment when three individuals merged two seemingly disparate worlds – deep-sea exploration and intellectual stimulation – creating memories that will undoubtedly last forever in the annals of Sub Aqua Club history.
