We have been looking into getting our diving tickets. Yes, I realise how bizarre that is after 10 years in a stunningly warm location such as Australia. Where as now in Britain we will have to get our tickets whilst rugged up in drysuits as I seriously don’t think we will survive the water temperatures here.

We went out for the day and provided surface support during a diving lesson to get an idea as to what we could expect. With a day full of sunshine it was the perfect time to have a look. We have been to the dive location before which is an old quarry. They have placed all sorts of obstacles in the water (such as buses, planes, motorbikes, cargo containers etc) and the depth range is to 80 metres!

Anyway, here are the pics.
