A great talk by Fiona Tarlton about her family experience as a daughter of Kelly, nationally and internationally recognised as NZ’s wreck diving pioneer. We learned about Fiona’s family adventures leading to Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World.

Sadly we also learned that Fiona’s mother, Rosemary has suffered a medical event, we wish Rosemary & her family our sympathy & hope for a speedy recovery.
