Hi CLP

As you're in North London you're closest is probably UK Dive Active Scuba PADI Diving Centre Dive Club and School Courses in London and Essex

I did my classes and enclosed dives with them at Walthamstow and did my open water dives on holiday. UK Dive obviously offer that too but they use Stoney Cove which I didn't fancy in mid March to be honest!!

Walthamstow has a diving pool which is much deeper than your normal swimming pool but can't remember the exact depth

Warren runs a very good school and all the instructors are top guys/gals

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the advice. We completed our open water referral at London scuba in surrey, staying with my brother for the night. It took a little getting used too but now we can't wait to get into the ocean and try it. Kelly was a good instructor, we found the Chris guy working there irritating but luckily he didn't train us!

We are travelling the South East Asia next week so will let you know how we get on when we get back.

Chris
