Diving the SETT (Submarine Escape training Tank)

The SETT is the world's only 30 metre deep tank and is 5.5 metres wide with a balmy water temperature of 34C. What's slightly odd is the fact that the surface is on the 10th Floor of a tower block while the bottom is pretty much at ground level.

It's a bit like diving in a space ship, everything is white and very well lit with depth markers at 5 metre intervals. You can see the surface clearly at every point
