I've been diving for 12 years, started it because I'd always wanted to do it - but found that the sport here in Scotland was quite masculine and male dominated. Having now lived and worked abroad for most of those years, I wanted to bring that non-male dominated attitude that's common abroad to the sport back home with me - which is why I've set up my own wee scuba diving company and it's teaching mainly children the PADI Bubblemaker & Seal Team Courses - but we're also teaching adults, offering ladies only nights and exclusive adult only classes to ensure the kids don't show them up when it comes to skills! lol!
I'm deeply passionate about diving now - as it's the only place in the whole world where my brain is quiet and allows me to focus on my students, my buddies and the underwater world!!
I cannot think of anything else in this big bad world, that I would rather do!
