Dives you would like to do? I would love to dive Truk Lagoon in Micronesia. It promises lots of wrecks, reefs and more wrecks in clear blue water.

Current activities for CPA: I've just completed the powerboat instructors course, so can now instruct on RYA level 1 and 2 courses (basic boat handler) for members that want to drive the club ribs. Full story here.

What makes you dive? Don't ask me that! I might start questioning why I do it and how much it has cost me so far...

What did you want to be when you grew up? I always wanted to go to sea - it's as simple as that. I just love being in and around boats, and with diving I can legitimately fall off them too...
