Over the last few years, I have lost more friends to the lure of scuba diving than to any other sport, holiday or hobby. They disappear with their passports and suitcases, professing a keen desire to do nothing more active than lie on a beach and perhaps try a half-day diving course, but return fully qualified fanatics, crackling with proselytising zeal.
Seeking fresh converts, these born-again sportifs struggle for words to describe the glory of the experience. For some, the magical element is the sensation of flying; the weightlessness as they float over vibrant coral reefs, come face-to-face with turtles or explore sunken wrecks. Others, however, wax lyrical over the sense of anticipation; of simply never knowing just what they will discover as they sink beneath the waves.
Caught in the headlights of their bright-eyed passion, I could only resist for so long. But having decided to take the plunge, I wanted the best baptism possible. Where to go? ........
