I will admit to saying that diving is not something I have fancied before. Diving was not only something that I never really fancied doing before but was also something I thought to be boring and very risky and dangerous but something happened when I purchased all of the James Bond collection on DVD a few months ago, now I had seen all of them before but it was not until watching them through again that you realise just how much of a part diving took part in the movies and it got me thinking aboutscuba diving holidays ^(http://www.indiefilmhouse.com/goto/http://www.holidays4scubadiving.co.uk/) after all.

The Moments That Made Me Change My Mind?

One of the best moments that made me really consider actually going diving was during one of the Sean Connery outings as Bond in Thunderball. A lot of this film is set underwater and despite not really being able to see many of the underwater life (thanks to the film being filmed in an underwater set) it does trick you into believing that going on a dive could actually be a fantastic idea.

Whilst realistically I know my chances of being ambushed when on a dive by people with harpoon guns and then thrown into a pool of man eating sharks is unlikely I still felt thrilled to go and try diving out. the great thing is I then went to find a place where diving lessons occurred and booked myself a nice little lesson. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it, in fact so much that I went forward and booked some shark diving ^(http://www.indiefilmhouse.com/goto/http://www.holidays4scubadiving.co.uk/shark-diving-holidays.htm) out in those Maldives diving ^(http://www.indiefilmhouse.com/goto/http://www.holidays4scubadiving.co.uk/maldives-diving-holidays.htm) locations.

So thanks Mr Bond for giving me a great new hobby to go and try out, I will keep doing this and who would have thought a movie franchise would provide me with a decent hobby to try out!
