We are Jo and David.

We live in Spain, about 65Kms inland from Alicante.

One of our main hobbies is to travel and explore the world, do some diving, and meet new people.

We have a teenage son, Kevin. He passed his Padi Junior Scuba diver exam aged 10 in April 2004 in the Grand Canaries, and did another dive in Spain followed by another 11 in Australia.

Jo is Canadian by birth. She lived in the UK from 1998 to 2004, when we moved to our home in Spain. She started her PADI course in March 2002, as she did not want to get left behind when David went diving in the summer.

Happily she enjoyed being dressed in rubber, and enjoyed her lessons. (David thinks its mainly because she fancied Duncan, one of her instructors!) She completed the course and got her fins on July 14th, 2002. 

Jo has since dived in the Grand Canaries with ScubaSur, and at several locations in Australia in early 2007

David is British, but always on the move. He has been diving since he went to the Maldives on holiday in the summer of 2000. He was bored of just sitting on the beach, so he explored the dive shop in the resort and decided to give scuba a try, loved the experience, and now heads to warm water whenever he has enough money in his pocket. 

He got his Advanced Open Water licence diving off the Great Barrier Reef on new years eve 2000. He is not ashamed to admit he is a warm water diver, having done one dive at 14 degrees he has decided to wimp out and avoid diving in the cold again. (update - he has now done a further 8 dives in water below 16 degrees, and he is still a warm water diver!)

In January-March 2007 we went to Australia for a holiday/honeymoon. We dived in quite a lot of locations along the coast between Sydney and Bundaberg. The pictures from this trip can be seen on davidspinney.com
