Aninuan 54 days in…

A Flamboyant Christmas
We scuba divers must seem like a weird bunch to our land-loving friends and family. We spend days travelling around the world to our chosen destinations, ridiculous amounts of money on fares, fees and equipment just for minutes underwater with … Continue reading
