10 years ago I was sitting in the club house of a golf course in Riyadh (in the middle of a desert, 6000 ft above sea level) when the discussion turned to diving in the Gulf. i made some comment that I had always had an inclination to try diving but had never got round to it. It so happened that one of the other golfers was a PADI AI. She sid "We have a course starting next week" and as they say the rest id history. After my first open water dive I was completely hooked.
