Readers of this column will know that I unexpectedly passed my PADI Open Water Diver Certificate this year. Now I am hooked! However, it was all very well going beneath the waves, swimming about and saying ‘ooh’ whenever I saw something that took my fancy. I hadn’t a clue what I was looking at and it bugged me. I would pop out of the water smiling radiantly, to bombard my long suffering dive master with eager questions as to what we had seen. The poor man must have dreaded my dives! I would pour over his battered copy of Reef Fish Identification by Paul Humann (published by New World Publications – a fantastically photographed and researched book), trying to name all I had seen.
