Cool Hello from Blighty

Hi guys

Just fouind this section of the forum, so here goues my intro:

My name is John and I live in the UK 30 miles from the centre (yes it's the english spelling) of london and 25 miles from the south coast. I first did a trial dive 12 years ago in greece, whilst it was good I wasn't that impressed. However was just on vacation in greece again different part this time and did a "Discover Scuba Dive" Course. This was half day snorkelling and half scuba. I liked so much I went back the next day and did another dive.

I now have the bug and am trying to sort out financing the PADI O/W for me and my wife. HOpe to get this sorted by the end of the summer.

John

Welcome to the board. I'm from oooop north but currently living and working in Africa. Hope to be home next week with a week booked up in Scapa to dive the German Fleet.

Good luck in finding yourself a dive school. There are lots available down in your neck of the woods so take your time and find the instructor that will best suit your needs.
