     You're right.. He's trained with the Seals.. Special Forces, 
     SAS and many others... I taught him to swim when he was 9 
     months old.. He's been going strong ever since. In my time, 
     to be diver (Armed Service), one had to be qualified as a 
     Royal Live Saving, YMCA or Red Cross Water Safety Instructor. 
     The first North American Under Water Council (I believe that 
     was the name it was called) was held in 1954 at Camp Borden 
     Ontario... I remember that well as I was the Water Safety 
     Instructor.....My! How time flies! 
 
     Keep up the good work Steve
