Andreas Elia, Regaldive Managing Director, said, 'Who better to offer advice to non-divers and separate fact from fiction than divers themselves? I’m sure many have heard a host of excuses for staying on dry land - everything from a fear of sharks to trouble breathing underwater.

'Using the feedback that divers provide Regaldive, we aim to quash a lot of this nonsense about the sport and encourage more people to take the plunge.”
