going down

When Amanda Ursell, celebrity nutritionalist, was challenged to learn to dive, she was more than just a little apprehensive. A self-confessed hydrophobic with claustrophobic tendencies, scuba diving seemed like the last sport she would ever enjoy. “Going Down – Reflections of a Reluctant Diver” is a humourous look at one woman’s underwater journey of discovery, as she attempts to conquer her fears. With chapters on avoiding diving bores and learning that “most sharks are vegetarian” to the wonders of night diving and crying underwater, this is an inspirational story of over-coming phobias and finding a new passion in the process.
