Salopian Scuba

[Skuba-doo]

Just joined the site, and a recent convert to scuba - seemed to have caught the bug tho! Did my Open Water in 2006 in Costa Rica, and have clocked up only about 15 dives so far, between Costa Rica and Sipadan/Mabul. Just booked a weeks trip to Marsa Alam in March, and looking at an African trip in summer - Mozambique/South Africa, or further up the East Coast in TZ/Zanzibar.

From what Ive seen so far of this site it seems a superb place for picking up hints, tips, advice etc for someone with such little experience as me

Welcome to the board. You have some great trips planned.

My broter is a DM, and sort of got me into Scuba, and he also convinced me and the wife to join him on hols in Marsa - neither of our wives dive (or swim really) so we're hoping they can keep each other company whilst we dive. Same applies for our summer trip - maybe combine a safari (the wife's dream holiday) with Scuba for me.

TZ is pricey (esp. with the Ž£ being so weak) and Ive not heard great things about Zanzibar lately. SA is cheaper, especially the Kruger side of things, and the Gansbaai/Mozambique diving would be amazing.

The problem with this site is that there is soo much to read that Ive ignored the Mrs for the last three hours!!!!

Welcome, Skuba-Doo! You are right, ScubaBoard is full of excellent information and can cause you to be in the dog house if you neglect the wife too long. It's great to have you aboard.
