During 1999 Polly Tapson became very ill, and in the summer of 2000 she tragically died. Her funeral marked a sad occasion in the history of the team and Polly's firm leadership will always be missed.

Spare a thought for the woman who pioneered technical diving in the UK. Polly Tapson's groundbreaking expeditions to the liner Lusitania in 1994 and '95 set both the UK and US diving communities alight. After a serious bend, she had to abandon deep diving, and went into film-making, producing Swept From The Sea with Vincent Perez and Rachel Weisz in 1997.

For someone who contributed so much to the advancement of diving in the UK, she has been all but expunged from history.
