HAZEL & KIRSTY
"I was always adventurous as a kid. My parents encouraged me to take risks. My dad taught scuba diving and I was hooked from a very young age. I did my first wreck dive at 16. We were inside the wreck and my mask flooded. I couldn't see, panicked and started gulping water. There was a roof above my head so I couldn't shoot to the surface. Through the blurry water I saw my Dad. I knew he was there. I calmed myself, cleared my mask and breathed again. He trusted me to get myself out of the pickle I was in. I felt like a champion!"
