Some words about my obsession...

Three years ago I went, guess where, to Grand Cayman...for the past couple of years I had been thinking of trying to scuba dive, but I had either been too lazy or too tired (drunk on a Red Sea beach) to give it a go. Well one day in Cayman, I was having lunch in Georgetown with my parents, and I saw a dive boat going out on a dive...there was a kid, in wet suit, getting his gear ready...

I thought, if he can do that I have to do it myself!

So I did...I did my first PADI OW training here in london at the Wimbledon Dive School, where I had the best instructor I have come across so far.I think I owe my good diving skills to Paulo!

My first dive in the open sea was in Zanzibar, in march 97. The instrucotrs there were not very good, but I did enjoy my first under water experiences...fish, corals, turtles...and 'octopus-like' dive instructors!

.Through diving I have made many many friends...In italy I dive in the summer months either in Sardinia or Sapri...
in both places diving is special and very different from tropical warm seas.

In the Mediterranean sea you get a chance to see amazing colours, big octopuses,

dolphins...

Sometime you recover an intact pre-roman vase...(check it out here)

So, if you are in Sardinia, you can dive with the Atlantica which is also a nice spot to make friends and hang around... and they also have a professional hanging around!

Try a dive...or meet the staff!

And this is me...with my bright pink fins which were such a joke amongst the Red Sail friend in Grand Caymans...
