Been diving now since 2001 although its only been in recent years that I've really pursued it. My diving occurs when I'm abroad on holiday as I'm yet to be convinced about UK diving. I enjoy all aspects of diving apart from long,rough boat journeys to dive sites and diving in less than five metres of Vis.(Just can't understand the point). I'm slowly acquiring my own set up and after renting a nice camera while on a recent live aboard in Australia am thinking about photography and buying my own camera. I particularly enjoy shark encounters and will seek those and wreck dives in as many places as I'm able to.

S.S. Thistlegorm WreckDescended down onto the hull of the mighty SS Thistlegorm before entering the hold.Inside there was old Bedford trucks,Motorcycles all in a rack side by side, aeroplane wings and some old wellington boots from the crew that went down.Swam from room to room with quite a low ceiling so buoyancy had to be good. This was the first sustained overhead environment that I had swam in.Amazing dive.Used torch for inside the wreck as well as using a camera.Inside I also came across the largest Lionfish I've ever seen. Unforgettable dive.
