From on the water to beneath it

Pia and Paul both wanted to try scuba diving so I had arranged this with my friend Lincoln. He has been instructing for many years and although he's a 'life and soul of the party' person off-duty he's totally focussed when he's working and I had complete confidence that he would look after P and P beautifully.

Dive Fair Helen are very safety conscious and the kids had to fill out comprehensive medical forms before they were accepted as divers. They then had a preliminary lesson in the small pool at JJ's Paradise, next to the dive shop and offices, to familiarise them with the equipment.

It wasn't very far on the boat to the dive site, so they didn't have to wait very long for their Big Dip.
