Novice Diving In The UK

[colonel green]

Hi eveybody. I have just volunteered to look after our dive club's novice/orientation diving for 2005 and am looking for ideas of good, safe dive sites and boat/skipper details suitable for novice divers. For novice read just qualified PADI Open Water or maybe with 1 or 2 UK dives.
These should be anywhere on South coast of England.
Thanks a lot :06:

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!!
Hope to see you back in "Introductions
and Greetings" soon.

I need inspiration to revise my stock message. Maybe if I read over may last couple hundred welcoming messages. Hmm. Maybe.
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Swanage Pier would make great novice diving, also good for night dives. Not too bad to get too and if you want to do a mix of diving you can launch a rib or charter a boat there to explore the Purbeck coast. Having a local skipper is a good idea though as the currents outside of the bay and around the head can be 'difficult'!
