Worst Dive
Thurlstone was the worst dive I've ever done, not because of the sight but because it was my first open water dive and I felt like a real F*** up, thought I'd developed asthma because I was gasping for air so much. Happily I stuck with diving thanks to a very patient DM, (thanks Les) and have not looked back. Been back to Thurlstone since it's a great dive site.
What dive/trip would you most like to do
Far too many to mention
What's the most useful tip ever passed on to you?
