Hello
New to the forum. I am a UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), citizen.
I dive extensively in the UK, Scapa Flow (Orkney), Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, England, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands and have dived a lot of Northern Europe, Normandy, South of France, and Norway.
Regularly dive in Malta, at least once or twice a year. Have dived in the Red Sea over the years, originally learning to dive in Israel.
This years main trip was to Iceland (in August) to dive Silfra, and Pingvallavatn.
Trying to decide what to do next year and thinking about Southern California. I regularly travel out to Placentia California (going there at the end of September before travelling down to Mexico) for work.
I dive with my partner a lot, although I'm love wreck diving and deeper diving, my partner is more interested in underwater photography so prefers shallower dives.
We would normally go liveaboard (if in the Red Sea) am happy to be shore based. Whilst we will certainly bring our own drysuits, it may be better to use local dive kit (ours are all DIN fittings).
Looking for interesting sites, Boat Dives, Photogenic Dives. We are happy in the water (our dive times in Iceland where around the hour in 4 degree C water - 39F).
More than happy at 30m (100 feet). Trimix qualified, open circuit and closed circuit, although plan to be open circuit if we do visit California.
So recommendations on Dive boats, Dive operators, and places to dive.
Thanks in advance
Gareth
