I am a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, and have only been Diving since February of this year. I am now very keen and enjoy my Diving very much. (Wish I had started years ago!!)
Below are a few pictures of some friends and myself "getting WET!!" Also some links to other Scuba sites I like to visit.

This is my hero, Caroline, She was my "Minder/Instructor" on part of my Open Water Course. She certainly got me through it all. Particularly the stressfull Open Water Dives.
I did these in a murky Essex lake, in early February with a water temperature of 3deg. I had a "bit of trouble" with my weight belt on the first dive, it ended up slipping down to my ankles. After freeing myself of it, I calmly handed it to Caroline so that I could swim to the shore. This was, I now know, not the thing to do, as the extra 28lb of lead took her straight to the bottom!!! Where has my Instructor gone I wondered!!! We still laugh about it now, I think she has forgiven me, but she never misses an oportunity to remind me of it, and always in front of other people!!!

The Landrover at 22m in Stoney Cove (needs a service, I think!!)

 

 



The following shots were my first attempt at taking pictures underwater. They were taken with a borrowed MX10, whilst on holiday in Teneriffe.
I dived with Island Divers, a school in Playa das la Americas, whom I would gladly recommend.

 



This is Andy, an Island Divers Instructor, (Nutty or what!!)

 

 


 


One of my "Buddies" also on Holiday.
Taken at Las Galletas, a wreck at 25m

 





Here are pictures also taken at Las Galletas, a deliberately sunken boat, that is regularly visited by Divers, where you can hand feed Turtles and Rays.

What an experience!!!
