The hotel that Viney was staying at offered scuba diving lessons. After hearing about this, Viney became interested and signed up for a course. She became hooked on scuba diving ever since. '''The experience of being underwa ter and seeing the extraordinary pat terns of fish was mind-blowing, beau tiful, and rapturous. And it was so clear that it was like looking through glass," Viney said. Vrney later received her certificate in diving and continued to dive. She said she became fascinated with the marine life.
