Having been lucky enough to learn to dive somewhere (very!) hot, I've since been converted to UK diving... In the last few years I've been lucky to have dived all across the Med and in a few other extic locations :) hopefully more to come!

Stalk PatchAvg depth 16.8m Fantastic dive; had been told there 'might' be sharks - we counted 12 at once!! Mainly grey reef sharks but also a couple of white-tip; amazing! Also spotted eagle rays, and 2 small manta rays! Also amazing :) Fantastic spot; a big lump of rock from about 7m down to 23m; we sat for ages just watching the sharks. Loads of other life too; barracuda, boxfish, plenty of batfish, seychelles anenome, humbug damsels, longtail bannerfish etc etc etc - best dive for wildllife I've ever done!! Dived with Dive Resort Seychells again; guides Juliette and Grandy.

Moray BeachDived with legendary guide Anh & a French guy called Laurent. Not much to see initially; sandy bottom & a few rocks down to 18m, a few nudibranch incl. a very large purple one! Dive improved massively as we came back up into the rocks & corals around 10m; lots of small fish (too many types to list!) incl. boxfish, moray eels, clown fish (inquisitive!), leaf-fish... Nice, warm, long dive :)

Great dive! Had forgotten how fun night diving is! Dived with instructor/guide Gary, Beth Rodgers & Ross Lyth. Definitely more life at night - maybe 5 cuttlefish, numerous small fish and a white spotted octopus! Very rare apparently; Gary hadn't seen one since 2006. Big bugger, not at all fussed about inquistive divers! Could have stayed & played for ages but left him alone. Again, could have had more bottom time but the others were cold in wetsuits! Also saw a sea hare as we were kitting-up; bit like a living leaf of seaweed - very odd!

Reef BayGreat dive, w/ Beth, Ross & commandos again. Lots of life on the 'reef'; lobster, octopus, hermit crab, lots of fish - much more to see than during the day! New batteries in my torch proved a winner :) need to buy a fish ID book... Floating on my back looking at the stars :D
