irishnut 297 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I went cage diving with galapagos reef sharks when in hawaii. It was amazing, we used snorkels not scuba. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Done a fair bit diving in both Scotland and Egypt. Fantastic hobby and well worth having a go, I love it. When that German woman got killed by a shark in Egypt I was there, desperate to get in the water, but no one would take a boat out. The Govt officials even jumped on our boat as we were pulling out the harbour and forced us back in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
