Chairman - Lucy Gell Lucy was an established dive master before SUSAC ruthlessly corrupted her in 2005. She’s a pint sized pixie who has graduated from the role of treasurer and now has the major challenge of keeping the rest of us in line. Having learnt to dive locally, she is an expert on places like Capernwray and Stoney Cove and likes nothing more than welcoming others to her second home. When not diving she can often be located skulking in Andy Cox’s office, or drooling over McDreamy, McSteamy and McVet with Claire. |
Dive Officer - Owen Petchey |

Training Officer - Claire Saynor Claire is a Fourth year medical student who has been in the club for 4 years now. She is our wonderful training officer having been promoted from assistant training officer last year. She is best known for her ‘sea sickness’, medical know-how and ability to convince her lecturers that she really was sick whilst standing in full dive gear in the Sound of Mull. Her house is often frequented by various members of the club after our weekly Cobden View sessions on Wednesday nights for a bottle or two of Plymouth Gin. She is completely addicted to diving and so is an ideal person to approach if you're after people to go on a trip with - she's almost as much of a regular at Capernwray as Lucy!! |
Assistant Training Officer - Will Rhodes |

Treasurer - Spiros Siouris Spiros joined the club in 2005. His commitment to SUSAC is such that he’s given up the warm waters and sunny climes of Greece to come and do a PhD in Sheffield ;) He likes exploring dark wrecks, mask removals, doing it right, bouldering and strudel. He dislikes having to write up his PhD, having a rest and cold quiche. |
Secretary - Kate Harris Kate got the SCUBA diving bug after having lots of fun snorkeling in the Great Barrier reef in Australia. Wanting to see more exciting things underwater, and for longer time than a breath hold, SCUBA seemed the only choice, and how right she was! Kate's role in the committee is to keep everything organised. When not diving, she likes travelling, meeting lots of people, and also trying to persuade everyone that she can speak French! |

'Boat' Officer - Jen Cowling
Instructor, Cook, Trimixer, Dr, Astronaut... if she
hasn't done
it, well, she has. To crown it all, she's now our Boat
Officer; puzzling, as we've no boats. So if you have a boating
problem,
if no one else can help, and if you can find her, maybe you can hire
Jen
(though, as I said, the club ain't got no boats, fool!).

Equipment Officer - Dave Keogh Dave joined the club in 2005 and has since dived in more exotic places (Fiji, Hawaii, Sri Lanka, British Colombia, Capernwray) than most of us have managed in a decade. He is learning to be a doctor, possibly even a brain surgeon, and also has a dispensary from a previous life. He was coaxed into being Equipment Officer and has already experienced the perpetual joys of tracking down drysuit feeds which people forgot to remove from club regs. Dave likes: being in control, helping people, latin names of plants, roast lamb. He doesn't like: rollercoasters, diving in a three, fish pie. |

Social Secretary - Olly Lomax Olly is a young ginger wiper snapper that joined the club in Sept 06. If you need to be entertained then he is your man, so Social Officer is the perfect position. When he is not soaking up the atmosphere in the Cobden View pub he’s sleeping at Claire’s house (sometimes naked, sometimes with other people of the same sex…). He has dived in many beautiful stunning locations such as Crap-en-pay, Mount Batten and Ponds Forge where you will find him readily available for a mouth to mouth demonstration. |
