We were introduced to scuba diving on our first holiday together in the Dominican Republic. We started like many do, I imagine, with a try-dive in the hotel pool. After a few laps underwater, we were hooked and decided to do the week-long PADI Open Water course - I mean that's got to be better than just lying on a beach hasn't it?

We are definitely 'holiday divers' and there are some stunning locations in the world to see underwater treasures. In the Galapagos Islands, we did a dedicated 10-day liveaboard trip which was fantastic - the best way to scuba dive in our opinion - we'd get up, jump straight into our wet suits, zip out on the panga boat to the nearby dive site, do a dive before breakfast and then return to talk about sharks over corn flakes and coffee - how cool is that!

More dive locations on our wish list include the Great Barrier Reef, the Maldives, the Mozambique Channel and Micronesia.
