The slideshow includes major throwbacks of the monarch that see him decked out in full scuba gear. “In 1975, at the age of 26 years old, His Majesty undertook a half-hour dive under Arctic ice at Resolute Bay, Canada,” the caption notes. “Years later, The King dived underwater onto the Mary Rose, Henry VIII’s warship, nine times before it was raised from the seabed in 1982.”
Why bring this up now? Well, it seems the king’s love for the underwater activity hasn't waned over the years, and he still feels drawn to the sea. In fact, he even made a trip to theGlobal Underwater Hub(GUH) in Aberdeenshire, Scotland just this past Friday, September 29, to learn about undersea efforts being led by the org.
