Sadly Fish left this world last week after a long fight against lung problems apparently caused by industrial diesel fumes.
Fish was a very active Mendip caver, digger and diver in the late 60's and 70's.
He was the first person to free dive sumps 2 and 3 into Swildons 4, a feat generally thought to be impossible at the time.
He later moved from Mendip to Derbyshire and took part in a number of foreign expeditions.
Fish also served as chairman of CDG.
I recall his enthusiasm for his dig in Swildons 7 which was a much harder undertaking when the 40 existed and we had to dive every sump. That dig has recently been shown to be linked to "Jenga" another active dig in 7 and still shows promise.
Our condolences to his wife Liz, who has looked after him through his long illness.
Fish's funeral has been arranged for 13:30 on Friday 19th November at the upper chapel at Haycombe Cemetery, Whiteway Road, Bath BA2 2RQ followed by a cremation at the lower chapel at 14:30 all are welcome.
