Thanks Wibble & BlueTrin.

Really useful info that.

I'm TEC45/Sidemount certified and my wife and daughter are Rescue Divers, so we'll mostly be doing recreational diving, with possibly the occasional tec dive for myself.

Can most of these dives be done in thick wetsuits, or do people generally use dry suits? We've been living in the tropics for the past five years so I've completely forgotten what cold water feels like.

I live in shore diving territory, West Scotland. If the temperature gets up to 13'C we think it tropical.

Have a look at BSAC's Club finder. see which ones do the type of diving you want, not all clubs are the same.

Your diving qualifications should be accepted, if not let me know (I'm BSAC's Hon Sec).
