Not tried diving myself as yet, still not brave enough. Snorkelled in Mexico which was a huge achievement for me and am hoping to do it again in Egypt this summer.
Anyway as the family organiser I have signed up to research diving for my husband and eldest daughter. They have just signed up with Dive Northampton to do their PADI open water course prior to us going out to Nabq Bay in August. Both are very excited!!
I have already been warned that this could turn out to be an expensive hobby, but have to say none of us know much about what basic kit they should get themselves, what we should look for in a dive centre etc So I'm hoping that the forums will be an invaluable source of information- nothing like hearing it from those that do it. Also my daughter is only 12, so as a Mum it is a little scary waving her off even if she is with her Dad. They did a beginners dive in Turkey last year and it was a long wait for them coming back
Hoping to 'meet' lots of you over the coming months.
