UKDivers.com UK scuba divers web site
first started in November 2000 and reincarnated as
UKDivers.com on the 25th
February 2002.
I started this site after taking up diving while on a holiday
to Kenya in 2000. That's not the only thing I started I got
myself wed to my Princess while there. we had no plans
to marry in Kenya until a week into a fortnights break.
Three days of this final week were taken up with a three day
safari and our dive course (now this was a busy holiday).
The day after the wedding we took our final written tests and
managed to squeeze in a final three dives, we were hooked.
The site first kicked off as a fairly basic dive web site, with a list
of links to other UK Diving related web sites.
Trawling the web made me realise that a large majority
of sites were commercially based, took forever to download
(because of all the ads), looked and felt amateurish or were
just plain boring. Fortunately the standard has increased ten
fold in the last couple of years.
My aim is too publish a UK Divers site that takes into
consideration all recreational divers, from novice to
technical. |
