Dive With Lucy

Instructor Development Course

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Lucy – a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, environmental steward and activist, lover of nature and all things marine.

2020 provided me with an exciting opportunity to write about diving, instead of doing it. So here’s a blog and gallery dedicated to the diving community.

If, like me, you love the exciting embrace of the ocean and the joyful encounters with aquatic life, then stick around and enjoy the chaotic ramblings and GoPro photography of a fellow Buddy.

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”
– Jacques Cousteau

In this post I’ll focus on the diving. Diving in the Mozambique Channel was like something out of The Little Mermaid! The corals are huge; so vibrant … Continue reading Diving Around the World

Finding my Fins

5th Jan 20215th Jan 2021 by DiveWithLucy

So, I’d dropped out of university (the second attempt went much better) and I thought, why not go to Africa for 8 weeks? Scuba diving had never been hugely on my radar, it was sort of filed away as ‘something some people did’. But I’d always had a very deep passion for the environment and … Continue reading Finding my Fins
