About Me
- Simon
- I love being underwater. About five years ago I begun snorkelling at various spots around South Devon and South Wales. I decided I had to see more and learn to scuba dive and joined Exeter BS-AC in the autumn of 2006. In 2009 I qualified as Dive Leader (and in March did the Open Water Instructor Course). Though I've just returned from the Red Sea, nearly all my diving is in the UK, and on holiday I snorkel. Southwest England is a great place to dive with many interesting wrecks and varied marine life.
