For a Loggie.........I know Lanny, top bloke![]()
Oh yes I'm still breathingIMS, @FourEM is a bit of a water rat.....are you still here Mr Sellotape?
She who casts no shadow wants to do the Cenotes so will break out the google fu -Cheers AugustusOld Navy mate of mine runs a cave diving resort in Mexico. Google ‘Underworld Tulum’ if you’re an experienced caver or a novice seeking to scratch an itch. They also run open water courses and qualifications.
I’ve done a fair bit of diving over the years but nothing more exciting than your standard holiday beginner dives. Do some training in a swimming pool before going in the sea type thing. I have probably done about 20 of these.
It was a fairly standard exped in most foreign ports we visited.
Always fancied getting a bit more into it but don’t really have the time. Also the missus hates it. Absolutely terrified of the sea, she hates swimming, hates boats, hates everything about it.
She’s been on two dives with me and hated them both.

I’m sure diving in Lake Malawi is lovely and amazing.
I was a Ship’s Diver, and I only ever dived in Pompey Harbour, at night, in the autumn and winter, under dark dark ships. It scared the everliving sh!t out of me - not helped by the fact I qualified after the first DDS death, and only got a quarter or so in before the next death.
I’m not sad I never did it again.
There just happened to be a RN Phot passing by as I returned from a job......

Yep that’s exactly what we did.Did you get into a couple of the rock nurseries and check out the cichlids? Excellent place to just bob around in the shallows and the little buggers will come right up to you and have a sniff around if you stay still. Less murky than the shoreline and sandy bits as well.
Your missus may have enjoyed that, but blowing bubbles frightens them away. Better to just drift with a snorkel.
No doubt you sampled the local delicacies - Chambo and chips, alternating with chicken and chips.
...She hates everything about water. Hates the sea, hates boats, hates swimming, hates beaches.
