Scuba Diving
This is my favourite hobby, scuba diving, I love to be in the water, some where, nice and hot and clear visibility, with all those beautiful colourful fish. as we say, caw purty wannaAnd maybe a few sharks for excitement.
I thought I would enter a few dive organisations, & information site, as I'm a rescue diver myself. Cornwall is a beautiful place to dive, if you have a dry suit; it’s a bit cold for me nowadays, I would rather be in Andaman Sea off Thailand or the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, where the temperature of the water is 29 degrees at 30 metres deep, thats what I call heaven.

Motorcycling
Well I said that my favourite hobby was diving, but this come up pretty close, I love my ZZR motorbike to, I have great pleasure going touring all over the shop, this year, we drove down through Frence to Bordeaux, then down to Andorra in Spain, Across the Pyrenees to Santander. It was a round trip of about 2000 miles, it was very beautiful, especially the Pyrenees. Also I'd like to ride my bike locally with my friends to socialise, have a nice meal , eat ice-cream , cream teas, have a good laugh.Flying
Well this is one hobby that is a very expensive, but the views our breath taking , I have PPL licence to fly a Cessna and a PA 28 I have approx 100 hours flying time. I would love to fly an helicopter but unfortunately this is very expensive to learn, is there anyone out there who has a share in an helicopter and is willing to teach me to fly? I went to Australia last year and across to Tasmania where the helicopter training was quite realistic, I am tempted to go for six months and take my training over there, but at the moment I am committed to England. But maybe next year one never knows.Fishing
