Each divers have their own preferences when it comes to diving spots.For me, I enjoy both diving in the tropical and cold waters. Each has its own attraction. What I love about Cornwall are its wrecks but aside from that I also love the deep granite gulleys and the basking sharks! :)Jean Polohttp://divezone.net/cornwall.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-79282933185098222152012-03-09T11:16:24.054+00:002012-03-09T11:16:24.054+00:00Yes it does help.

It's only a personal thing, and yes I do agree that reef diving has great attractions, but for me diving was all about wrecks- researching them, locating them and then diving on them.<br /><br />Warm water is great I know, but I did have my own method of introducing warm water to my wetsuit!MEIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834780351452765156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-76317461359525881182012-03-08T14:17:31.218+00:002012-03-08T14:17:31.218+00:00I'm afraid that I'm going to have to disag...I'm afraid that I'm going to have to disagree with you here... my experience of diving the Great Barrier Reef (and also the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia) was one of the most amazing of my life. <br />Leaving aside the fact that it was pure pleasure to be able to dive in such warm water, the sheer variety and number of species to be found on both reefs was breathtaking; it is estimated that 25% of all marine species live on coral reefs. I vividly remember entering the water on my first reef dive and spinning round and around trying to take in the magnificent sight before me - and spinning right into some coral which proceeded to attack me!<br />I can't imagine ever getting bored of reef diving, there's just too much going on. From the infamous clown fish darting unharmed amongst the anemones, to the parrot fish nibbling away at the coral, to the moray eels hiding in deep coral crevices, to the reef sharks cruising around as though they own the place - it's just all going on!Amanda Willshttp://www.min-eng.comnoreply@blogger.com
