The best way to describe what is it like scuba diving for the first time is to say it’s exciting. Breathing underwater on your first scuba diving experience is something you’ll probably always remember, as I do nearly 30 years later after my first dive. And for me that’s not just because my first diving experience was on The Great Barrier Reef.

Titan Triggerfish Breeding Season (Scuba Diving Story In The Red Sea)
This is a short scuba diving story when my dive buddy and I were scuba diving along Triggerfish Alley in the Red Sea. This particularly aggressive Titan Triggerfish took an immediately dislike to my dive buddy. I turned to see her kicking her fins vigorously which was unlike her. Then I saw the reason, she had a Titan Triggerfish snapping at her heals like a Jack Russell Dog. I swam to her rescue like a ‘diver in shining armour’ and all ended well. We swam away from this Triggerfish and she didn’t get bitten.
My Great White Shark Story In South Africa (But Didn’t Get To Dive With It)
This is the first of many scuba diving stories, and this one is a diving story of my own. It’s about the time I flew to South Africa to dive with Great White Sharks. Unfortunately for me it wasn’t to be, and whilst I got to see a very large female Great White Shark (and very close-up for that matter), I didn’t get to see her underwater from inside the shark-cage. Maybe next time? If you have a scuba diving short story, please complete the contact form to the right of this page.
