Shiv Dixit

I had never known that we could do scuba diving in London, that is, until I saw this package on Thrillophilia. After speaking to their team, I was greatly impressed and immediately booked one ticket for myself. I tried the guided scuba diving technique at the Wraysbury Lake near Heathrow and explored the caves here, along with many other attractions.
