Three articles on diving from the Times newspaper (UK)

Scuba diving: The ultimate boy's adventure

Nice article about learning to dive, marred by an irritating title. It's from the "Men's" section of the newspaper, but it's still a bit annoying; the sense of the article wouldn't change at all if it was titled "Scuba diving: The ultimate adventure". Also, what makes this funny is this: The Times has a section on sexism called "Babewatch" where readers can post examples of sexism they have seen. I was reading that page just before I found the link to that article.


Why scuba diving has hit the rocks

I'd be interested to know what others think of this... I've barely got 13 dives logged so am still a newbie (though in these days of the internet, it's not too hard, surely, to do your research before you go somewhere and check out which are the reputable dive schools?).


Diving for beginners in Egypt

Mildly entertaining, and I entirely get the "my GOD, this is AMAZING" feeling... but seriously, this guy was diving on the Thistlegorm and wasn't able to clear his mask?
