Dear All
Some friends of mine phoned up Chirs Evans from the chamber in the North Sea. He found the helium voices funny enough but wasn't content until they sung him the whole of "Delilah" by Tom Jones.
The first clip is the interview, the second is further down the page is Delilah as you've never heard it before.
Listen and Laugh.

Hey Groupie59, firstly welcome to the boards.
Being a newbie to diving, I have never come across the term of 'sat' diver before, but now after going to the link, I now know!
The singing was hilarious! Many thanks for posting up the link!
:D:D:D

As part of writing the book, I got out my log books and worked out the hours in chambers and in the water. It was something like 2 and a half years in the chambers and 6 and half months actually on the bottom, I mean wet!
That didn't include all air, mixed gas and tech diving that I'd done. It sort of depressed me a bit.
Good clip though wasn't it?
Tony
Brilliant, absolutely histerical!
As an ex-pat Brit, I miss some of the humour and this was just perfect! I'll look out for the CD to be released!
Thanks for posting it and welcome aboard.

I'm only jealous. Better get back to writing the book, it takes my mind off the weather.

Can't argue with you there.
Some things I miss about the UK:
Beer
Pubs
Humour
obviously, friends and family (have to say that, in case they read this ;) )
Things I don't miss:
Weather
Cost of living
Weather
Traffic (used to live in London!)

My mate Mac had his very first Sat dive recently. He phoned home from the chambers and his misses hung up on him so he tried again and she kept saying. "I've phoned the police, I've phoned the police!"Quote:

When I phone home, especially if its deep, say over 180 mts, then the misses can't understand me but my lad who's only 10 has no problem at all.
Weird.
