The closest I get these days to ...........

[bobby's bear]

............Scuba diving is watching the Octonauts and identifying marine life. Oh how life has changed!

[Helen GV]

But how good is octonauts!

[Fuschia]

You a diver?

I was an instructor and technical diver in another life (one of the first women trimix divers in the uk)

[bobby's bear]

Wow.

I am / was in my previous life too though not quite at your level, but have dived alot all over the world. I am a fair weather diver though, at my happiest in a short wetsuit! I genuinely enjoy looking at the fish on the octonauts, or in the horniman aquarium, reminds me of lots of great times underwater. Hope I'll get back to it one day. Have you dived recently?

[Fuschia]

Not since we went to Egypt in 2008

I had planned to Dive last summer with my sisters club last summer bur got pregnant

Next year maybe

..snowboarding is the winter x games on extreme sport on the tv...:-(

I used to be an enthusiatic horse rider and trail leader... haven't ridden much since 2005, not even been in the saddle since 2009. My postgraduate career ate up all my time, and Little Saff has taken a lion's chunk out of my budget.

These days the closest I get to a horse is longingly to watch the police horses clip-clopping down the street.

I'm looking forward to the day when Little Saff is old enough to take mother-daughter riding lessons with me. Although, by then, I'm sure she'll quickly surpass me!

Ha ha - I'm a diving instructor too! Well was. Haven't been in the water since b4 i got married. We were supposed to be following the whale sharks around Christmas Island on our honeymoon, but I found out that daughter #1 was brewing 2 days before the wedding.....

big sigh!

Hope I get there sometime!

How many years until University? :)

Padi or bsac? Where did you do that?

[sillywoman]

. . . ski-ing, is listening to neighbours tales of their annual ski=ing holiday whilst watching youngest son on his rip-stik. Envy is a sin, no?!

[ryedalema]

PADI - Sorry! But I'm also a mixed air fan! I spent three months in Koh Tao (small island off Thailand) about ten years ago getting my instructor's licence.

I didn't want to come back but finances (and my inability to speak any languages well, apart from English, Corporate-speak and now toddler) meant my dream remained just that.....

Another big sigh... I'm fulfilled honestly, but Nemo still makes me blub (and it's nothing to do with him losing his dad)..:-S

[Fuschia]

I first did bsac and iantd then crossed over from bsac advanced instructor to Padi owsi/mfai and spent quite a long time in Belize (with Raleigh international)

I know koh Tao quite well! Been there twice, few weeks at a time (97 and 2001)

Started diving in 1998...

Will teach oldest little f later I hope

Am a snorkel instructor too

I look forward to sailing as well with him and climbing

Ohhhh.... I do miss it!!!

Me too....

I feel sad.

[Saffron]

Anyone for a double-date? Hubbie and I will meet you by the frozen peas. ;-)

[kittysailing]

I love sailing and it's been tricky since having baba - would recommend Sunsail Holidays for scratching the sailing or diving itch - the beach club at vounaki Greece is great - a beach full of boats for you to hop on and off all day - amazing free childcare - professionally run nursery nneb English nannies where they take the kids on boats. Kids pool etc. Kids food. Babysitting by nannies in evening. Good food. Baragains to be had beginning and end of season - just seen offer of ?399 for a week in May ...

[Fuschia]

I love sailing too!

Child no 1 has actually taken it up, and I have only been able to watch.

If I don't get back into diving this summer, I definitely will next
