British rebreather expert feared dead
By Charlotte Boan
Former BSAC rebreather chief instructor Penny Glover is feared dead after going missing on a dive in the South of France on Monday 21 November. Penny, 42, and her buddy were diving with friends in Hyeres in the Mediterranean, when they both disappeared.
The French coast guard said a search was continuing for the two divers, however, was unable to release any further details.
Penny first learned to dive in 1986 and became a highly experienced and respected technical diver and BSAC volunteer. An instructor trainer for semi-closed and closed-circuit rebreathers, she was instrumental in developing the first-ever rebreather courses for BSAC launched this year.
It is extremely sad, BSAC chairman Marcus Allen told DIVE. Penny gave so much to the club for so many years and was highly regarded in the diving community. It is a great loss to diving. Our thoughts go out to friends and family of both divers.
Clare Peddie, BSAC's national diving officer, added: 'This is an extremely sad loss for all of us who have been privileged to know Penny. Her warmth and kindness will be so deeply missed. Penny was a leading light in the BSAC.
