SSI AWARDS
Britons receive training agency honours
Two Britons are among this year's 66 recipients of SSI Platinum Pro 5000 awards, made annually by the American training agency SSI in recognition of significant contributions to the diving industry. Honoured by SSI was Mike Holbrook, formerly of the BSAC but now SSI's own British training agent; and John Bantin, Diver magazine's world-girdling diver, writer and gear tester.
