“Diving is something the Duchess very much enjoys, and the Duke of Cambridge, who is of course President of the BSAC, has said in the past that he is hopeful his children will become interested in the sport”, said a spokesperson for the Duchess.
Qualification for the advanced PADI certification requires divers to complete five dives, including one deep one and an underwater navigation dive.
The organization also says the participant should have expert “compass navigation skills” and should be knowledgeable of improved navigation “using kick-cycles, visual landmarks, and time”.
Jeez, Kate. I was still working on zipping up my old trousers, three months after I had my last baby, but good for you!
