    If you’re going to recreate a massively famous painting in live action, you might as well do it right.

    Well, Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam” โ€” that one painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel โ€” is pretty much as daunting a challenge as you could get.

    With the tank plunged into darkness, alarms sounding, and wind and waves pounding at her, Olympian swimmer Hannah Miley was forced to face her greatest fear.

    The Commonwealth gold medalist is no stranger to water in the pool but the claustrophobia brought on by undertaking Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) was a different matter.

    Driving her to overcome her โ€œhugeโ€ fears, however, was the prospect of raising money for an Aberdeen-based still birth charity that is close to her heart.
