Porthkerris is where we train new divers every year. Getting all our trainees and equipment from Imperial College to this tiny beach in Cornwall is a major operation, but worth it considering how much everyone learns.

 | I'm just an assistant instructor right now, so most of what I did during the week was work as standby medical cover for our operations. Nothing major happened so I spent much of my days as helping divers get in and out of the water. |
Most of the time getting people in and out was relatively easy, but every now and again the waves would really pick up. |  |
 | And of course, where Matt goes the harmonica follows. |
At one point I took a nap on the coast and awoke to discover my arms buried beneath me and my chest under ten kilos of lead. |  |
 | It was actually kind of cool to be completely buried until the tide started to come in! |
