MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF KIT

My snorkel and mask – NZ$12.00 – bargain.

COOLEST THING SEEN U/W

A turtle and black reef shark – I soon showed it who was boss of the ocean.

NON-CELEB MOMENT

The first time I went snorkelling in the red sea in Egypt – I felt like I had landed in a tropical fish tank.

WOULD NEVER DIVE

Because my ears don't like it much, but wish I could :–(

BBS (BEST BACON SARNIE)

Some people are veggies you know! You can't beat a mean fried egg sarnie mind you... mmm with nice runny yolk!

BEST BUDDY

My friend Lisa in NZ – we've been mates since we were 5!

WORST BUDDY

LIFE CHANGING BIZARRE DIVE MOMENT

Doing my PADI dive course, doing all the exams and all the pool exercises etc, finally burst out into the open water to try it for real to discover I have small tubes in my ears which means I cannot equalise – that was 3 days spent in a classroom in Egypt well spent! There will be no diving for you young lady. Snorkel it is then.

FAVOURITE UK DIVE LOCATION

You are joking, no one goes in the water in the UK, it's too bloody cold!!!

FAVOURITE OVERSEAS DIVE LOCATION

Sharm for snorkelling with the fishies.

STILL WANNA DIVE...

Yeah, but am resigned not to.

AIR OR NITROX

Air, though maybe I could try some extreme snorkelling with Nitrox...

TANYA STREETER OR MIRANDA KRESTOVNIKOFF

Tanya – man she can hold her breath for ages!
Ocean Visions

MONTY HALLS OR NICK BAKER

Monty.

ANYTHING ELSE

Don't forget the wee snorkelly folks floating on the water looking down on the fishes.
