you could think about contacting Farne Islands Diving, Wrecks, Seals and sealife with Sovereign Diving at Seahouses, it's south of Edinburgh, in England, but diving with the seals off the Farne Islands is superb

if SHE is hot-looking in a wetsuit, i promise you i won'r be distracted:D

I thiny you have assesed it right, except that you have missed out that sixth sense you develop with experience. if you are diving on a regular basis (with or without a buddy) you notice things sub-conciously, just like you do when driving, you also get to know the terrain and the scenarios (oh...

Sililar progression to solo as myself, except i got bored of taking time out to concentrate on my camera only to find myself playing 'hunt the buddy'. And let's hear it for Swanage pier, fabulous place to solo a photographer's delight though i prefer it mid week as weekends get too many...

i like that, tasteful.

i display my photos for ME if anyone else wants to look at them they are welcome. i've sat through too many holiday bad slide shows & cine (anyone remember that) to impose my photos on my guests. i take my photos to the local camera club every month & get critical opinions from some top...

i bought enough commercial matching frames which toned in with my decor to cover the wall next to the staircase, then i printed out my favourite photos on my inkjet printer. when i get a photo which makes me say 'WOW' i print it out & replace one of the photos already on the wall. There's...

Just noticed your status devon - you wouldn't like being in the land of clotted cream today wet with force 8's in the Channel:-( but seriously i read the blog & it scared me. I solo dive, i buddy dive, i enjoy both, but i've also been insituations i really didn't like and just wanted to head...

even Dude is a foreign language to me:-)

yeah, i do enjoy myself, diving's hard enough battling the weather without the idiots. we boat owners should stick together:-)

i tend to agree with you, but you haven't mentioned the interesting tides out brizzol way! a friend used to dive (25 years ago +) out of Swansea and i just can't find anyone else who knows anything about it. She lived there, but no longer does (neither does she dive).

Mrs Stoo sounds a treasure - you look after that woman:D

it's not just an age thing, i am just so fed up with people who have not been diving 5 minutes trying to tell me how to do it. the classic one was i taught someone how to run dives & as soon as he got his book signed he started telling me i had it all wrong.

i haven't reached the age where i'm proud to have achieved being that old and i hope i've many more things to achieve before i get to that age so i'm going to claim a woman's privilege & be coy about my age:-)

Tyneside BSAC 114 make life easy for yourself contact these guys. self certification medicals (unless you know you have a problem) probably cheaper training, buddies to dive with probably holidays arrenged for you, it really is much much easier.

actually i have buddied some regular solo divers who, although very safe & technical good buddies, are not enjoyable to dive with because they are so used to diving alone they have lost the technique of doing something fun & sharing it.

and, of course you carry 2 of everything;)
