Well Done Anna

Frog Squad have just returned from a diving holiday to Sharm El Sheikh in the Red Sea - where Anna Simpson successfully completed her Junior Open Water Diver

At the age of only 10 years - this makes Anna the youngest person ever to qualify with Frog Squad

Anna originally started diving as a member of the Seal Team until she was old enough to enrol on the full diving course. She passed the course with flying colours and can now join the rest of her diving family!
