Just watching the Great Barrier Reef on BB1. One of the greatest things anyone can ever do is dive if you get the chance
It's an experience you will never forget

"I have tried it but didn't even get out the swimming pool it scared me silly  "
I think it'd be too claustrophobic for me also. Not something that appeals tbh. |

I was lucky enough to dive about 6 years ago, i'm the same not done it since ..... I wish i'd done more now when I travelled in hindsight
I could quite happily be a clown fish living off a reef!

absolutely love it - been lucky enough to dive in some very erotic opps I mean exotic places and with luck will get to the great barrier reef in the next year or so. We are off to an evening with Monty Halls next month, should be interesting. |

I was the same but once you overcome the breathing and have the confidence you know you can breath you wont look back.
I also did my first session in a pool and i can understand where you both are coming from but its totally different in the sea.
If you get the chance again do it ... its something you will not regret |

Last night I managed to get a very nerous lady to go down, she was only doing it for her kids but enjoyed it so much she's coming back for more ...... or maybe it was my magnetic personality she wants to come and see again lol |

I dived for the first time in Turkish waters, then took my PADI open-water course in Sharm, Egypt ..... a 50th birthday present to myself.
It was a wonderful experience and one I'll never forget. |

Been to Sharm more times than I care to remember twice in the last 15 months although last time was a livaboard so we went a bit further afield. was in Borneo in October which was fantastic |

It was all that water below me that gave me problems. Diving on walls, knowing it was 600 metres plus to the sea bed worried me just a bit  . Diving with Sharks in Borneo with the bottom 2000 metres below cured me - it really was do or die lol.  |

My departed lovely was a dive-master, although I had never dived with him, my older two kids had.
Strangely I felt a connection to him when I did eventually do it. |
