RACHEL COLE
travelling before university – but said her favourite place to dive is back home in Torbay, with the local wildlife. She said: “I was diving down here recently and felt a tug on my
fin. I turned around and saw it was a seal chewing on it! “They’re so inquisitive, like puppies. They often sneak up on
divers and then quickly swim away again. Always such good fun.” Although she likes nothing more than diving in local waters she does hope to dive in the abundant tropical waters of Palau in Micronesia, and also Iceland. She also has a three-week diving holiday planned to Sri Lanka next January, when business is very quiet in the town. The Great Escapes boat still goes out looking for wildlife in the winter – although usually up river to Anchorstone to see the seals in their winter habitat. Rachel said: “During the winter there is still plenty to see in the estuary, especially as the seals come in and shelter on the pontoons.” Rachel asked Emily Stroud – a fellow marine biology student
from Plymouth - to join her for this summer, as the business is getting
busier.Administrator Sophie Hughes makes the third member of the team. Even so, the dynamic Rachel works six days a week in the summer, although less so in the winter, but still finds time to be a member of the Dartmouth life boat crew. More information on the boat tours can be found at www.
greatescapesdartmouth.co.uk or at the shop on Market Street.
