Welcome to Beanie's blog, this is my latest addition to the website outlawdivers.org.uk. In this blog I will be posting about various subjects but mainly diving (my main passion), Software development (My career), Motorbikes, Photography and anything else I feel may be of interest.

On the diving front I have been diving for 15 years, I started diving with one cylinder of air (not Oxygen) back in 1994 with a local BSAC club. As the diving bug caught me I moved through diving with twin cylinders and using Nitrox (Oxygen enriched air), throug Trimix (Helium, Oxygen and Nitorgen mixes) using upto 5 cyclinders on to Closed Circuit rebreaters. I now dive Closed Circuit Trimix, this allows me to dive to depths of 160m although I prefer to stick to less than 60m.

On the developement front I have developed software in Visual Basic for test systems, simple HTML websites and now complicated database information systems int he Education sector.

Photography is something I got into when I was given a Cannon EOS digital SLR, I have been trying out differnt thing since, I'm currently trying to get accepted on iStockPhoto as a contributor.

Bikes is a nother new(ish) thing well riding them anyway I have enjoy bike racing, like BSB, WSB and MotoGP, for years  but have only recently started to ride.
