Whenever I get out of this country on holiday, I always look to try to fit in a few scuba diving trips. It’s the closest feeling I’ll ever get to being in outer-space.  The feeling of being weightless in a silence world really does chill the soul out… especially when you’ve just taken a 2 year old and 6 month year old through airport security!

I was really impressed with what Menorca had to offer beneath the waves. Spain and The Med are not famed for their diving like The Red Sea but I think they have a lot to offer.

I’ve been diving now for 6 years and have been lucky enough to see and swim with some great things under the water (sharks, turtles, dophins etc) at some amazing locations.

The dive documented in the images here was a nice wall dive (following the coast around the edge of a bay). I went to a maximum depth of 20 metres in a group of 3. We were guided by a very knowledgable German who owned the dive shop in the resort. This particular dive lasted about 35 minutes.

Underwater visibility is something you hear divers talk about alot. I’ve dived in water that looks like scotch broth in the UK so the opportunity to dive in crystal clear stuff is great. There were some nice caves and swim throughs on this dive as seen below.

Marine life wasn’t as abundant as some tropical coral reefs but there was still enough to keep us all interested. A school of barracuda swam over our heads and there was a large octopus and cuttlefish.

I'd like to be... under the sea...

All in all it was a nice dive. I’ll update you all with my next adventures underwater soon.
