Well i am more into sea life preferably with wrecks and seals. Quarries are less of my scene although i quite like Hodge Close with the assault course entry and 28 meter cave systems! x

well unlike other things your first time in the sea most likely will blow your mind. go somewhere decent like Farne Islands or St Abbs which is not too far away form where you are and it is fantastic, there is like everywhere - even in three meters water. x
