Hi Lynn
Plenty of diving here on the south coast. Look up Poole and Swanage for diving. Quite a few clubs around and dive boats go out to many of the wrecks here. Also plenty of drift diving. Check out BSAC Dive clubs as well as PADI. There is a book called something like Dorset Wrecks which you should be able to get from Amazon and that will give her a good insight into what is here. Water maybe a bit cooler here than what you are used to. Also viz can change. Anyway hope she has a great time.......... Chris

I live in El Dorado Hills California (Sierra foothills east of Sacramento)
Certified in Monterey CA with Sacramento Scuba World
Dives: Saba, St. Barts, Anguilla, Hawaii, but the very best was Bali - 4 days 3 different locations.

I love diving Indonesia.... and am thinking about heading back there next christmas season to dive Lombok and then head head out towards Komodo (or just head over to Wakatobi for a week).

Always looking for a dive buddy to join me.... more fun than going solo.
