Scuba Diving :)

It will, we're squeezing 3 days diving in Gran Canaria later in the year.

Now that's a good idea - if you stay local, by which I mean Europe, then a long weekend would do it. Two days diving, one day sunning. Making a note of your other Europe suggestions for future planning!

Probably my favourite place in the world is Thailand. Genuinely lovely people (friendly and genuine like the Balinese...

I thought the Thai woman who fired a ping-pong ball out of her vagina so that it hit my forehead was a tad over-friendly.

L'Estartit in Spain, Malta and Gozo (Gozo is the best of the two) and Menorca (for cavern diving) are some of the best diving destinations if you want to stay in Europe.

Or go completely arse about face and try diving in Iceland. The sea is so cold up there organisms don't grow so the water is crystal clear and you can see for 100+m. Not quite a tropical paradise but a very different experience..

I met a girl yesterday who did that, and she saw the Northern Lights on the same week. She quit diving in this country because it was too cold but then went diving in Iceland!

Saw a group heading off to do this when I was there - it was February and utterly freezing. Fissure diving - the fissures looked amazing - imagine it would be an unforgettable experience.

Iceland water temp can be up to 11 degrees in August, that is the same as diving in the UK between Dec to April so it isn't quite as bad is it sounds.

It can get down to 1.2 degrees there though

This ^^

We've got a cheeky week in Lanzarote, specifically to suss out what the diving's like as it's comparatively local.

Main holiday was diving in Jardines de la Reina. 1:03 the fun starts

Just remember the safe timings between diving and flying.

I am no scuba diver (one taster dive was enough) but kayaking on the west coast of Scotland looking down through crystal clear water to the abundant life below makes me think the diving must be wonderful.
