Welcome to my sparkly new Scuba Diving Blog

I suppose I'm still a relative newbie to the scuba diving game... I thought I'd try my hand at blogging a bit about some of my thoughts and ideas.
I have been diving for a couple of years, but had my very first diving experience as a Sea Scout, a good few years ago now :-) It took the form of a trip up to London and jumping in a big tank.. I remember it had clear sides too, you could see the guys outside watching you which was fun.
I really enjoyed that experience, actually being able to breathe under water is amazing yet surreal.

A few years on, 15 or so, I had my next scuba diving experience, this took the form of a 'try dive' with a PADI dive centre in Larnaca, Cyprus. I think it was the "Dive In". They had a pool out the back to get you wet and used to equipment and a rib boat to get you out to a reef or something shallow for the experience.

Roll forward another 15 years and yet another "try dive" with Cengiz Bergun on Alagardi Beach in North Cyprus and I took the plunge deciding to go for my PADI Advanced Open Water qualification. I completed this with my eldest son Zach and came back from my holiday with the ticket.

I am by no means an expert at this stage, I am just really enjoying the learning and growing experience that comes with scuba diving and wanted to spill it into a blog for future reference and posperity.

I guess I have a few stories to tell and a few pics to share and look forward to writing and showing things here..

Cheers

Ian
