    You should have seen my OH when we found the blue ringed Octopus in October.

    Drugs can't get you that high. It took him a fortnight to come down.

    That octopus is beautiful!.

    My daughter and family are going to Mexico in February, my grandson is going diving with goggles, flippers and snorkel, well, he will be only just six. He is going to swim with dolphins, he is so excited.

    There is something very special about swimming with wild dolphins. My first one was just outside St Ives harbour. we often had dolphins bow riding the dive boat, but one day, when a 12 year old was learning to dive, she had finished doing the "hover", and the instructor gave the sign to turn around. As she turned around, she came face to face with a dolphin looking at her, with the sort of expression that says, "what are you doing?"

    A very special moment for a new diver to tell her friends about at school after the weekend.

    The cornish pod move around Lands end, from St Ives, to Sennen, and around Lands end to Mounts Bay. Exhilarating but tiring to snorkel with.image

    Kat the Dugong is very special too. He creeps up on divers, and uses the shot line to floss his teeth with. He only does it with the dive boat line, not interested in other boats.image  and then theres Phoenix the manta, who hangs around until you've got the perfect shot...

    How many have you climbed Edd? I managed 120 before age, lack of fitness and morbid obesity took hold.
