I have been aching to get back to my keyboard for a while now. I’d like to say that I have been on a bit of a digital break but that wouldn’t be accurate.

I’ve never liked night diving. It wasn’t even that I was afraid of it, I just chose to completely ignore any comments or remarks anyone had about night diving. I had made up my mind about it and it was never for me. However, recently I went out for a night dive and to my surprise; it was not all as bad as I had imagined it would be. As an Instructor, Continue reading →
