Best dive ever

[nickb]

That's great stuff Mark.

I've been keen to get my 10 year old lad started but he's always hated having sea-water around his gob until this year. He's just come back from Thailand where he really enjoyed his snorkelling for the first time and that, along with your frankly quite moving story has made my mind up for me.

PADI Jnr Open Water here we go.

Mark that was an amazing report, I have to admit being slightly emotional reading it!

The pictures are wonderful and I'm sure that you will remember and cerish that day forever!

Tell Angela & Sophie that they are s!
You are a great dad!

Thanks to Mark Davies I've just seen this, I must've been away when it was originally posted and am sorry I missed it at the time.

With a Little Urchin of my own I can honestly say the report brought a tear to my eye but I feel luckly to have been able to share those moments thanks to reading this now.

May Angela and Sophie always share this wonderful hobby with Dad, stuff Dad's credit card I say - you can't take it with you and truth is, he won't care a bit becoause of the joy it brings.

Thanks for the post

I must have missed this first time around. There is something very satisfying when your kids show the same passion for the underwater world as you do yourself. Both my sons dive - the elder since he was 14 when he did 68 dives in his first year, including Scapa and the younger since he was 15.

I hope your daughters go on to get the same pleasure from diving as my sons do. My elder son bought most of his own equipment by saving up money from his paper round. However, I had to bear the cost of the trips which I didn't mind - it was a pleasure to have him along.
