It is with sadness that the committee of the Seahorse Dive Club in Swindon has to announce the loss of Mike Hamilton-Scott on 12th April 2023. Mike has been the heart and soul of the club for many years. An avid diver and founding member of the club, an ambassador to the sport, spearheading a number of initiatives and latterly Club Chairman. A truly special man who had such patience when teaching diving and always gave a warm and jovial welcome in the dive shop. He will be greatly missed by many of us. Our thoughts are with his daughter Samantha, son Simon and granddaughters Ella and Yasmin.

For many of us he was a massive part of our journey to become divers and we thought it would be nice to put together a book of people’s memories. Hopefully we can fill it with everyone’s stories/photos and thoughts of Mike. We hope that it will be something Mike’s family can read through in the future to see what he meant to so many people.
