Its a strange feeling when your bored and looking through loads of the older threads on this site, to come across a thread about yourself that was posted prior to me even discovering this site. :o
Well even after going through the sting I have not been discouraged from diving in the slightest, in fact I begged the doctor in cairns to sign me fit so i could get back on the boats working again.
On a slightly different note, I read the other reply about the porpoises and wondered where abouts in the UK would be the best place to possibley get a sighting of these? are they as timid as dolphins prefering snorkellers to divers?
