Kia Ora,
Nga mihi nunui kia koutou
Nau mai haere mai ki tooku nei wharangi
Ko Bridget Murray ahau
My name is Bridge and i live in New Zealand, a small isolated country surrounded by water, so its not surprising that a lot of what i have to say revolves around water in some way.
I am a qualified diver, and have been since i was 17 with qualifications in both Marine Science and Environmental Science. I have been diving all over NZ and love the east coast especially.
Aside from diving, writing has always been passion of mine and i am looking forward to sharing both with you.
