Woohoo! I finally made it I am now the proud owner of a rescue diver certification and I have to say it was great fun but knackering! I am now searching for a nice diving holiday for October this year so if any of you have any ideas please let me know as wife is off to India and china with a girl friend and I`ll be left to my own devices! I have been given carte blanche as to where I go and who with - Yes really! So come on and let your imagination run riot....

I thought that buddies would be interested to see this fabulous picture of a 5m White pointer that appeared in Perth Waters last Sunday 15th July 2007. The picture is not mine but was taken by the skipper of one of the boats. It`s not often that we get White Pointers off Perth so this was a real treat....
