Yes, do/done all those kind of things. just love being underwater, generally, but love looking at fish in their environment. Nothing better than spending quality time with Manta Rays, for example. How seriously? Just holidays in warm places, as historically, I’ve been busy at weekends with footballing commitments! Couple of hundred dives logged, but need to get more done before the body goes!

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 17, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2019 The manta rays sound great. One chap on the box just the other day doing likewise. Always be a bit of a concern about sharks for me though! Oh, and these guys that dive in the dark; no thanks, love a dark sky with lots of stars, but not the inky blackness of the ocean.

One of those weird things, I've always felt being eaten by anything must be a pretty shit way to go. Went open sea diving about a mile off Durban (Great White country) with a group of about 30 black tips and one of the girls we were diving with - a "save the shark" activist from Aliwal Shoal -- was hand feeding them sardines so they were circling us at arm's length. Nearly shat myself, but what a buzz. Edited April 22, 2019 by Hoppy510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed in Porec about ten years ago Nice little place with everything in walking distance. Very Italian influence from buildings to food Places like Pula and Rovinj(?) in close proximity for a day out and some spectacular scenery travelling between the two Regular trips from Porec to Venice if you ever fancy that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Cavtat in July, lovely little place, it is a very relaxing place, pretty quiet, we stayed for a week and stayed in the Hotel Croatia (recommended) which is a massive hotel and about a 10 minute walk to the town.
