Hi all,
I'm a Brit based in Taipei, Taiwan. Just completed my OWD at the weekend, can't wait to get back in the water to accumulate some more bottom time. Looking forward to meeting some buddies in the region.. Awesome amount of knowledge on the boards, so lots of reading for me.. shame the Taiwan board is a little quiet.
Here's a question, at this stage is the best way to accumulate more experience/bottom time just to jump straight into the AOW course?
I'd prefer to enjoy it and get 10 or more dives under my belt first. Here it is mostly be shore dives, and I'm already impressed with the diversity of wildlife. I assume many divers are not keen with a relative newbie tagging along with a dive. I've not found any local clubs/dive days/fun.group dives in the area yet, especially in English.. though I must profess, I have not looked too hard..
