So it looks like I am going to be moving to the UK (more specifically London) with my girlfriend around February/March time. I am currently an active diver, but my only experience has been in the Caribbean due to work (work on a cruise ship). I absolutely love diving and plan on continuing to dive once I arrive in the UK.
Question # 1: I have all of my own equipment, except for a tank and weights. Being that I am from the US, I have a yoke style regulator. Does the UK use a yoke or DIN system?
Question # 2: What is the average water temperature in the spring/summer/early autumn? I currently have an Aqualung Titan. According to my LDS (who is based in Massachusetts), it is fine for Mass. diving in the spring and summer months. At this moment in time, I want to acclimate to cold water diving in the warmer months before trying something like ice diving.
Question # 3: I have been perusing the internet for London based dive clubs. It seems there are quite a few. Which are the most active clubs in the area? I want to do a lot of diving, but I want to keep up my skills with pool work in the winter (as well as keep up my girlfriend's skill. she has no interest in UK diving, but would want to continue warm water diving on holiday).
Thanks
