A 24-hour charity dive in aid of BBC Children in Need has been carried out by a West Midlands club. The Dudley Dolphin Scuba & Snorkelling Club has so far raised more than £1,440 through its collective initiative at Lodge Farm Reservoir in Netherton, Dudley.

The BSAC club is based at Dudley Water Sports Centre at the reservoir where the charity dive was carried out. It was formed back in 1964 to dive primarily at the site.

Members dived in shifts for up to an hour at a time last weekend (15-16 October), taking with them under water Pudsey, the charity’s bear mascot.

Less-experienced divers were given half-hour stints, and altogether some 35 club-members aged between 14 and 65 took part.

The marathon was organised by member Ryan Nokes, who remained on site at the reservoir for the entire 24 hours to make sure that everything went according to plan.

“We just wanted to do something good – we wanted to challenge ourselves, and 24 hours of diving is a challenge,” he told the local Express & Star. Dudley Dolphin’s JustGiving page remains open for donations.

#askMark Hi Mark, I’m a newly certified diver and have 10 dives done (all on rented gear) and on a couple of dives my jaw has locked. It also happens sometimes if snorkeling for a long time so I’m wondering if this is due to weight of 2nd stage or less comfortable mouthpiece. If it’s mouthpiece and I get a good one that fits me well (any recommendations?) will dive centres in general switch them when I rent gear? Thanks for any advice
Val

How Do I Prevent Jaw Fatigue? #askmark #scubadiving #scuba

#askmark When diving with both an AI transmitter and an SPG, with the AI transmitter using the HP port over your left shoulder so it is on the same side as your dive computer, how do you route the hose for the SPG? Is it an issue that the SPG hose is coming from the right HP port but still needs to be on the left thigh D-Ring? Or would you recommend putting your dive computer on the right hand?
