One of the greatest thrills of my life has been watching my grandson recently complete his BubbleMaker Course with Bophut Diving School.

This brilliant little kid’s name is Ananda just turning 8 years old, and to be with him diving, while watching my son teaching him is the ultimate for an old diver like me.

Kids of this age have no fear, and Ananda just loved the experience in Japanese Gardens Koh Tao. Conditions were great. He felt absolutely confident surrounded by people he trusted.

My only problem now is wants to be on the boat all the time, and forever is asking when is Granddad going to buy him his first piece of kit.
