Tony Liddicoat
Tony Liddicoat has been diving for over 44 years, and has recently published a book of his career entitled “Five Bells” Job Done. One of the book’s typists commented, “I don’t know how you’re still alive.”
Tony pursued commercial, military, and recreational diving and his diving career has taken him all over the world. In 1981 he was named British “Diver of the Year”. The pictures below cover his time diving as a wreck excavator in Kenya, his military assignments in Germany and the Falkland Islands, as an Army diving instructor in Belize, and his commercial and recreational diving throughout Europe.
