I know it's a weird idea, but does anyone know what the regulations are for
diving the Thames (non-tidal part). I am particularly interested in the
section between Hampton Court and Hampton Court bridge.
Cheers

Greg,

Below Teddington lock you need to contact the Port of London Authority.
Above that (Hampton area) you need to contact the environment agency
on 08708 506 506. I am sure there are all sorts of regulations
including something about a rigid fixed dive flag not less that 1.5
meters long or something like that. There is also something about
treasure trove due to the proximity of Hampton Court Palace.

Exactly, and the whole point for diving it. I'd like to survey it as part of
my NAS part II course.
Thanks for the info.
