The Secret of the Black Loch

Plot

Lyn Logan plans to practise high-diving from the tall trees of the Black Loch beside which she has come to live. After finding a huge print by the Loch, her father shares the belief of the local folk that a monster inhabits the Loch and he forbids Lyn to dive in it. Without practice she won’t be able to compete in the Scottish Championships.

Orphan Davina Ray’s talent for  diving was noticed by ex-champion Mary Lord, who invited Davina to stay with her for the summer  holidays so that she could coach her for the County Championships.

Deep-Sea Debbie / Debbie and the Drowned Village

Plot

Debbie’s father, Mike Nolan, is a professional skindiver, specialising in underwater jobs where the usual diving equipment is too cumbersome. From an early age, Debbie has been taught to use an aqua-lung, and now she assists her father in his newly-formed Underwater Enterprises Company.

Debbie and her father, return in Debbie and the Drowned Village. The two travel to Llanberan, in Wales,  where unexplained accidents are holding up the completion of a new dam. Mike and Debbie believe the accidents are the work of a man who doesn’t want the dam built. While Bill Parry, the engineer in charge of the project, is on top of the dam, the bucket on a crane swings round and causes him to fall into the reservoir. He doesn’t surface and Debbie dives in after to save him.
