I'm James and just wanted to post a quick hello and intro to the forum.
I've been a holiday diver for about 15 years on and off, amassing 80 dives over that time. A few years ago I tired to get in to UK diving, did the drysuit course and bought a suit, but didn't dive that much with it. I was a student at the time with no room to store the gear in my student house so it was all with my parents.
After my most recent dive trip last autumn, my partner and I have decided to make a concerted effort to get into the UK scene. We've joined a club and will be off to our first pool session tomorrow; me to check my gear/skills and her to have drysuit instruction.
I'm super excited and have been reading the forum for the last week or so to get in the mood, so thought I should just post and say hi. Looking forward to getting in the cold Scottish waters soon.
TL;DR - I'm James and I'm about to start diving in Scotland rather than just abroad. Hi!
