Yes I dive but to be honest, go off most of the beaches here and just snorkel. It is fabulous. Just waiting for the water to heat up a bit - I have gone soft since coming to live here.

Re the different climates, I will have you know that 2 weeks ago we had thunder and 6 drops of rain!!!!!!! I remember just before Christmas one year we returned from Egytp to Scotland and I had jokingly said we would probably go back to 3' of snow - I was wrong, there had been 16'.
