Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm not going to let this feeling I got as a kid put me off diving, I just loved it so much! Apparently my smile when I got out of the water was worth paying for alone haha. Hopefully I'll be doing the PADI Open Water course soon. Thanks again, Harry.

No, not that. I hadn't dived at the time, it just used to make me feel uncomfortable thinking about it.

Thank God, I thought I was the only one! I'm not superstitious but I thought that it could be a sign not to dive? It makes me look strange I know but hey, just the thought of diving gave me the creeps. Even when I was on holiday in Portugal and saw diving masks for sale in the shops it just made...

I found the actual dive really fun, it's just when I was younger I found diving a weird subject to talk about. I honestly have no idea why though! It's very hard to explain.

Hi everyone, When I was younger (around 10ish), when I used to think about scuba diving, something about it made me feel really odd. I know it sounds strange but it almost used to make me cringe? I never even considered trying scuba diving until this year, and I did. I loved it. I'm just...

When I did it in July, we went through a kind of flip chart with the basics of scuba, including: the effects of pressure on the body, basic equipment, dos and donts etc. Then I tried on some of the gear like the wetsuit, the mask and the boots and fins. We then drove about 10 minutes down the...

Ok, I'll check them out. Thanks for the info. Thanks for that, I'm not yet in Uni but when/if I am, I'll have a look. Thanks also for the link, I'll look at that too. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, if the diving community in general are this friendly, then I'm glad I joined! Harry.

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it. I don't want to jump straight in to an OW course in case I don't like it and I don't really have the money at the moment. If I do enjoy it, I may have to get myself a part time job to do alongside college! :D.

Thanks for that, they do seem the favourite in the Coral Bay area. Harry.

Oh right, I get what you mean! Yeah, there are some places nearby that, if I enjoy the DSD, I may visit if I become qualified. Harry.

Hi, thanks for the info. They seem to be quite popular, I'll have a gander. Harry.

(This post is in reply to GDI) Thanks very much, I'll have a look. Only problem is that we're staying in Coral Bay and won't have a hire car so, except from the bus, transport would be limited. I would really prefer to use a more local centre to Coral Bay. I'll still check them out though, the...

Hi! You're local? Where abouts are you? Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Harry.

Hello everyone, I've just posted a thread in the introductions area to introduce myself (obviously). I have never been diving, but only this year I have decided I'd like to have a try. I'm heading out to Paphos, Cyprus in early July and will be doing a PADI Discover Scuba Diving session in...

Hi everyone, just a quick hello from Hampshire! My name's Harry and am going to Cyprus in July for my first PADI Discover Scuba Session. I'm very excited! Bye :).
