I'm a PADI Rescue Diver, used to do a lot while at Uni in Plymouth a few years back. Now tend to keep my diving for fun, once or twice a year while on hols.

Have dived in Mexico, Malta and Portugal, as well as Newquay, and around Devon / Dorset and Cornwall.

If you ever go to Mexico the diving is throughly recommended. I did a Drift dive where I literally did not have to kick at all - the MEGA strong current swept us along like superman over the sea bed, and we covered miles. Water was crystal clear (like 30m + vis)

I also did some cave and cavern dives there (you may have seen some of the places I went on a Jackass show recently) which were beautiful and very at the same time - not being able to see the surface was very scary!!!

My passion is wreck diving though - I'd love to do more but time and money stop me...

Used to do it a long time a go,mainly at Stoney Cove,Sapcote.
Problem was that people were getting hurt and a lot was getting killed as the water was very deep and very cold.
When i gave it up i think about 8 people had died in there.

Great fun though still do a bit on me hols.
