Charles then chuckled after seeing the photo of himself
bare-chested at a BSAC event in the 1970s, showing off a toned
physique and commented to guests “I know my eldest will now demonstrate his buff
credentials”, though William donned a full wet
suit.
Prince William was also presented with a small t-shirt for Prince
George, who turns one in a few weeks, with a seal on the front,
wearing a snorkel mask. A few months ago, the Duke of Cambridge
admitted he wanted George to share his passion for scuba-diving and
the water when he is older, as reported by Royal
Central.
William then donned his wetsuit and flippers, and jumped in the
pool to show off his snorkelling and diving skills, whilst Charles
watched from the sidelines. The Duke told those there that his
father was the real expert when it came to aquatic sports.
Tom Marshall, vice-chairman of BSAC, said: “Prince William trained with us as well as with the Army down at Fort Bovisand near Plymouth. I also know he has been out with one of our local groups on Anglesey.
“The Duchess, his wife, is also a member of the BSAC. He admitted that he prefers warm water diving but clearly has a passion for the sport. It is one of the most exciting sports you can be involved in.”
Prince Charles also revealed he had once received a scare from a Moray eel whilst diving in the Arctic; one came out of the darkness and put its teeth on his mask he “shot off like a Polaris missile” – he admitted he was “absolutely terrified”. William also admitted that he was more of a ‘fair weather diver’ and preferred the warmer climbs for his time in the water.
