SOME people celebrate their 50th birthday with a slice of cake.

However, members of the Bromley branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club chose to dive into Surrey Docks instead.

Chairman David Green said: "It's a fantastic achievement and the club is going from strength to strength."

The group was established in December 1955.

It now has around 100 members in its ranks.

Members meet on Monday evenings at the Bridge Leisure Centre, Kangley Bridge Road, Sydenham.

The club has two boats based at Newhaven, East Sussex, for weekend diving between April and October.
