John Morley

Open Water Instructor

John learned to dive longer ago than he would care to remember, back in the days of home-made ABLJs and things like that. Says he is now on his second diving life!

John is also an enthusiastic sailor so gets the best of both worlds as bad diving weather is often ideal for sailing and vice versa.

Has served the club in many ways including training officer, treasurer and chairman.
