Published

In early 2023, Historic England commissioned MSDS Marine and Michael Pitts to produce a film to celebrate fifty years of Protected Wreck sites and the role volunteers have played in their management. The film draws on Michael’s extensive film archive as well as new footage to really showcase protected wreck sites through stunning imagery and explores the role volunteers have had on working on them through a series of interviews. The film includes a new letter from the Palace recognising the significant contribution diving volunteers have made on the wrecks over the last fifty years.

Michael has over 40 years experience in underwater photography and is regarded as one of Britain’s foremost underwater cameramen. However, he is equally happy shooting on the surface or from the air. Amongst his many awards he has received Emmys for cinematography on two BBC landmark series: David Attenborough’s ‘Private Life of Plants’ and ‘Blue Planet’. Michael is a highly qualified commercial diver and has considerable experience working on commercial diving projects and archaeological projects.

Aqualung Group has announced that two of its French entities have entered into redressement judiciaire, a legal reorganization process under French law designed to enable companies to continue operations while restructuring. This step, initiated last week, is part of a broader effort by the company to stabilize operations and transition to new ownership.

The group emphasized that this is not a liquidation process (liquidation judiciaire), but a court-managed effort aimed at securing long-term viability and continuity.

“All entities within the Aqualung Group, including those currently under reorganization, continue to operate and serve customers,” the company said in a statement. “While we temporarily face some cash flow challenges, our teams remain fully mobilized to minimize disruptions.”

Aqualung assured stakeholders that it remains committed to transparency and will provide updates as the legal process progresses, particularly in regard to timing and future developments.

The company thanked customers and partners for their continued trust and support during this transitional period.

Aqualung Group, a long-standing name in the dive and watersports equipment industry, is working toward a resolution that will allow it to emerge from the reorganization with a more stable foundation under new ownership.
