Tara Sutherland
I like 25m visibility, starfish and stingrays.
I also like strawberries, popcorn and Mark (from MV Pacific Hideaway’s) Lamb Shanks.
I really enjoy taking new divers out and showing them around some of our shore diving spots.
We have some pretty wicked dives in our area and the easy access is top of the pops.
My other real passion is spending an hour with my face in a wall taking photographs. I want that to be more than an hour though!
This year, I’m looking forward to spending some more time diving with a twin tank setup and thus increasing my hours underwater.
Anna is also going to force me to like Wreck Diving – but then again, she was right about me loving Night Diving and pretty much everything else as well.
And if I admit this online, then maybe she will stop beating me up.
You will be able to recognise me by the spiky hair and smart mouth but also the red OMS BCD and the fancy pants silver and black Slingshot fins OR the tiny twin 10′s that I have taken to diving in everywhere.
I design and maintain the Global Dive website – and our Facebook Fan Page and its usually me that you are talking to via our Twitter account.
