What should you not do after scuba diving includes; top of the list is flying, followed by travelling to altitude, mountain climbing or trekking at altitude or drinking excessive alcohol. Other activities include strenuous exercise, taking a hot shower or jumping in a hot tub and having a deep tissue massage.

I’m the diver behind Scuba Diving Earth. My first dive was on the Great Barrier Reef in 1989 and since then I’ve dived hundreds of times around the world. I’m a BSAC Dive Leader, have been a BSAC diver trainer and the Diving Officer of a Saffron Walden BSAC Club. I live in the UK near to the New Forest in Hampshire with my lovely wife Jo. I enjoy scuba diving around the world, but now mostly in the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean. I have a love of diving where I can see sharks. My favourite so far was seeing Whale Sharks on the Ningaloo Reef in Australia.
