I started diving just a year ago at the age of 66 and must admit to feeling my age sometimes with a 15 litre cylinder and a pony bottle on my back.

While I am pleased to have reached this level with around 70 dives, it is only now that I feel, with Simon’s help, that I am actually improving my skills and understanding what I am doing.
I dive with the Nautical Archaeological Society which I would recommend to anyone who is interested in wrecks and understanding our underwater heritage and moving forward I am interested in the more technical aspects of diving.

But it is all an excuse to dive really, because whether it is in a wet suit in the warm or in a dry suit in the North Sea, I just love being in the water.
