![]() This gift has allowed NAS to set up their own SAA dive club with the RIB being used by divers interested in participating in archaeological projects and expeditions. They will also run an annual Part 3 course in Steve’s memory teaching people how to use the kit. NAS is using the equipment for its own projects and will establish a loan scheme to make the survey equipment available to other archaeological groups and societies so that many more worthwhile projects will benefit from Steve’s equipment. Steve was a great supporter of the work carried out by the Nautical Archaeology Society so I gave all of his wreck hunting and diving equipment, including his RIB, to them as a living memorial. The fantastic stories he told will also be remembered as Steve was a man who knew how to spin a terrific yarn and his wicked sense of humour would often lead him to exaggerate things just to see how much he could get away with. 'Sail forth, steer for the deep waters only/ For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go / And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.' Walt Whitmans descriptive words paint vivid pictures about the vastness and power of the sea, qualities that inspired Ralph Vaughan Williams to compose his first symphony. Steve will be remembered for his many talents, his kindness to so many people and his great passion for life. I scattered his ashes over the wreck of the M2 submarine in Weymouth Bay, a wreck he had always wanted to dive but never did. Brittany is one of the best places in the world to sail. Steve took his own life when the Wreck Hunter and Underwater Videography business he had worked so hard to set up, was destroyed by the actions of a small group of people. ![]() He inspired many people to take up diving but he always insisted that divers honour archaeological sites. Sea Shepherd Goes Where Many Others Fear to Venture. Scuba diving, underwater archaeology and videography were his greatest passions. ![]() He was a very gifted man and was passionate about everything he did in his life. Walt Whitman 42 Im not afraid of storms, for Im learning to sail my ship. And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared go. He was a larger than life character with many friends and, because he wasn’t perfect, a few enemies. Sail Forth- Steer for the deep waters only. My husband Steve was a charismatic man who lived life to the full and made a lasting impression on everyone he met. In loving memory of Steve Carmichael-Timson
