Diving Museum

Was in Gosport this afternoon. Have driven past this museum many times but know very little about it.
It was established in 2011 in a Victorian military battery on the shores of The Solent. Gosport has a claim to being the 'home' of the global diving industry. In 1832 the Deane brothers (the inventors of the diving helmet) carried out the world's first commercial dive off the coast of the Isle of Wight. John Deane subsequently moved to Gosport to continue working on local wrecks. Although the museum is small, it has a wide range of diving equipment and every era from ancient to modern is represented. 
Sadly the museum is closed until next spring but some older exhibits are on display in the grounds.
