I've missed out on multiple sea dives this year, simply due to the unpredictable British weather. However, last weekend the sun was shining and the sea was calm, so diving was definitely on the cards, the Aeolian Sky was our wreck of choice. We made our way out of the harbour, and an hour's shuttle... Continue Reading →
It has taken me a long while, to get around to writing this article. Partly due to the motivation to write about past life experiences, when my current experiences are less than interesting! It’s fair to say that my time as a scuba diving guide was for the most part fantastic. The opportunity to get... Continue Reading →
So you've already seen my Nudies, now it's time for my crabs! Or more precisely a collection of photographs of all the Crustaceans and a couple of molluscs that I have come across on numerous dives! Hermit crab Prideauxs hermit crab Sea hare Cleaner shrimp Anemone hermit crab Locust lobster Unfortunately, at the moment, we... Continue Reading →
As the title clearly states, I have a whole bunch of nudibranch pictures to share with you! I love these little guys, they come in all shapes and sizes. I'm forever searching them out on dives and after two months of continuous diving I have spotted quite a few! I love these little guys, they... Continue Reading →
Since I've been working in the bay of Port 9 in Korcula, I have amassed a ton of dives in the bay, whilst conducting try dives. An opportunity for the non diver to get in the water and have the experience of diving under the waves! Most of the time we see something worthwhile, an... Continue Reading →
After posting about my experiences as a dive guide after a month I thought it would be good to share some of the amazing photos that I have managed to take when not guiding dives. Although it's not an everyday occurance I do have the chance to get in the water and have a dive... Continue Reading →
I managed to cover my first day as a guide in my previous post. It was a busy day, and in itself set the tone for the rest of the week. Not that the week has been off my feet busy, however it has been full on and super enjoyable! I have dived many of... Continue Reading →
As the title suggests, I've just started working as a dive guide and so far it's been pretty full on! On day one I completed three dives, the first of which I led, a thirty metre wall, with an anchor at the base! We traversed this seeing, spinney lobster, confirm eels, a couple of small...

At our six month point in the trip I wrote a short review of that time to sum up what we had been up to. So I thought I’d do the same for the second! Each of the things on here have more in depth individual posts, that go into more detail, however this will... Continue Reading →
My previous post covers our first dive, and this was my second. I say my, as jess decided after the faff of the first to skip this dive, unfortunately for her this was a much better dive, with way more to see. We descended a fixed line and soon the obvious protrusions of a wreck... Continue Reading →
It has been a while since I last took a trip below the sea, and from a friends recommendation we decided that a trip to Tarifa was needed and whilst there we would get some diving in! As soon as we arrived in the area I liked it, and that says a lot, as although... Continue Reading →
This was the second dive of the day, and I've only done a separate post due to the amount of photos in the previous post, and also to set the dives apart. On this dive we descended onto a rockery with small reefs and then made our way to the wall. We followed this, slowly... Continue Reading →
We have been in Croatia for a few weeks now, and throughout this time we have longed to go Scuba diving at some point, however we have struggled to find the right time, centre and weather to get a dive in. It does not help that we are massively out of diving season and the... Continue Reading →
Overall we spent just short of three weeks travelling around Sardinia, initially our plan was to climb as much as possible, however we soon came to discover the amazing coastline and underwater world that surrounds Sardinia, and it is fair to say we diverted our attention to this more than the climbing. We snorkelled in... Continue Reading →
So far the west coast of Sardinia has been as picturesque as everywhere else, we have slept with sea views nearly every night, and have not been bothered by anyone. The beaches that we have visited have been just as nice as everywhere else on the island, I feel we have found some true gems... Continue Reading →
Following on from the last post where we have finally been scuba diving on the Isola die Cavoli near Villasimius, we found some free parking just down the road from the port and proceeded to spend a couple of nights there. It was a lovely location, although we were always on edge, with the fear... Continue Reading →
