Introductions and GreetsNew to Scuba? Or maybe just new to these forums? Well, by all means, start off here with a quick hello to introduce yourself. We promise, we don't bite... much...
I am fairly experienced as a UK diver. Having been down the Pay Another Dive Instructor route I transferred into the biggest dive club in the world. BSAC. The British Sub Aqua Club. Since then I became an instructor, acquired an ITDA trimix ticket to 70m, Oh and notched up several hundred dives.
I do about 50 dives a year on a poor year. 2007 was pants, only 53 dives. You have to live in the UK to appreciate depressions.....
Not exactly new to forums.
I am off to Castro's world in July, so I might be asking the odd question about diving there

Diving in the Uk is very demanding-weather, tides, visibility etc However........
I dive all year round and all around the UK. On the south coast of England- Weymouth and Plymouth are extremely popular, West coast of Scotland is Oban, North Scotland you have Scapa Flow, heading south there is Eymouth and then the Farne Islands.
The water is green, and the viz will vary from 1-3m on poor days to 20m+ of great days. The variety of wildlife is stunning.
I am based in Bedfordshire which means that I have a minimum 2.5 hour drive to the coast, but also can reach northern england or Plymouth in 5 hours.
