Nigel Hewitt's home page is a revelation for
those looking to do some very enjoyable armchair diving :-) quote " OK. A quick
reality check. I am still Nigel Hewitt. I don't really like training courses. I
don't much like international travel. I don't do social environments with too
many new people or too many new things and I definitely don't like getting cold
so what am I doing standing on a Austrian Alpine lake using a five foot long
hand saw to make a hole in the ice wearing my drysuit? The poor old boy has
finally cracked." |
