John’s journey started whilst on holiday in the Dominican Republic where he completed his Open Water (this was the first and last time that his wife saw him read a book on holiday!).
After a couple of month’s back in the UK he felt the need to get back into the water, where he then completed his PADI Advanced Open Water Diver at Stoney cove and also PADI Rescue Diver certification.
