Aquaria are SO cool. There's a great one in Le Havre that I went to some years ago that has a room that you walk into and you've got fish swimming all around you. It's ace.

Equally, if you can get over the getting under the water thing diving's astonishing. On one dive in the Maldives I was about 55feet under the water, sitting on my bum on a rock and watching two manta rays swimming lazily along above me.

Just to show that it isn't confined to warm waters, off the Farne Islands in Northumberland a friend and I were diving and I felt a tugging on my fin (flipper) - it was a seal pup, who'd decided that the big black rubber thing was a toy to be played with and was swimming after it, biting it like a dog!
