Amanda trained as a weaver at art college (hippie) but soon found that it lacked the financial renumeration to explore the world. To this end she took a job with (funnily enough) another programmer who desperately needed someone who could interface with clients. As a team the company went from strength to strength to the point where the MD retired to a caribbean island and left Amanda without a job.
Picking herself up by the bootstraps Amanda found herself in a high power corporate sales position but every time she went on holiday she'd ask herself what are the real priorities in life.
Finally in 2003 the diving bug was well and truly in her system and the 5 year plan was hatched - to escape from cold old blighty to somewhere warm with some kind of income to allow her to live in a hut on a beach. "Darling, do you think we could make a living training scuba divers ?" She says. "Well sweetheart" I says, "If it doesn't work out you could always go back to weaving..."
Which brings me neatly into the inspiration for our domain name.
