"Discover UK Diving" has been created by keen diver and amateur photographer Will Appleyard. His book has been designed to encourage newly qualified divers and "holiday divers" alike, into a diverse underwater world just waiting to be explored. Will's book is packed full of photographs, comprising stunning coastal scenery, divers in their element and a selection of underwater shots taken while diving his favourite sites along the UK's south coast.
Those new to diving or curious about the sport may often wonder what UK diving has to offer them. "Discover UK Diving" showcases a selection of exciting dive sites, a beautiful array of sealife and visibility often associated with diving abroad. The book is very much Will's personal account, written in a light-hearted manner, with those considering taking the next steps in mind.

Scuba Diving Photos
Taking underwater scuba photos is very much an art, and I am definitely not an artist! These beautiful shots were taken by Terrance Fidler, who also provided me with many other great close-ups that are shown throughout this site.
The color and details are incredible, as are the underwater sights here in British Columbia.
The Pacific Northwest, especially Vancouver Island, and the coast of British Columbia is one of the richest and most diverse areas on earth. A guilty pleasure of sorts. It is home to thousands of plants and animals both above and below the shoreline. Visitors are awestruck by the pristine beauty of the coastline and mountain ranges. The images, photography, tutorials, and diving information found throughout the 8arm.com website are to help promote the education, understanding, and conservation of the marine environment and its inhabitants in the Pacific Northwest.
Another great underwater photographer and videographer is Mark Leichnitz,who is also a dive instructor,divemaster, and dive buddy.
His 4 minute video clips are beautiful and give you an idea of what to expect here in BC.
They take a minute or two to load, but I highly recommend his services. Click the link below to see the scuba video clips of British Columbia.
