The Trials of Being a UK DiverPaolo Vincenzo ToomerNormally when I write articles for Tanked Up, they are about some exotic location or some expensive piece of equipment. But this month we are going to stay at home.I grew up in South Africa, where the diving is pretty spectacular yet I learned to dive in 1996 in Poole (Dorset) and not in Palau. You now understand that I have a huge amount of love for diving in the UK because I could simply have gone back to SA and learned there. Do I like freezing to death, no visibility, bumpy boat rides and all the other apparent horrors when diving in the UK? Well no, who the heck does. But the 'art' to having fun dives at home here in Blighty is quite simple and nowhere near as expensive as we are lead to believe... To read the rest of this article, you'll need to get your hands on Tanked Up Magazine. It's free. What are you waiting for? |
