Article written by Russell Bowyer who has been a scuba diver since diving on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia in 1989. After his first dive he trained as a BSAC diver in the UK. He attained his Diver Leader certification with BSAC.

He then went on to become a scuba diving instructor, teaching others how to dive and was voted as Diving Officer and Treasurer for the Saffron Walden BSAC Dive Club too. His favourite part to diver training was when he helped newbies overcome their fear of mask clearing.

Russell has dived all over the world, including the UK such as Cornwall, Littlehampton, Dartmouth and the Farne Islands (see image to the left), on liveaboards in the Red Sea, the Caribbean (Barbados, Antigua and Bonaire are favourites to name a few), South Africa and the USA.

Russell is experienced in all dive types, including drift diving, deep dives that involved decompression stops and recreational dives too. His absolute favourite type of diving is scuba diving with sharks.
