Hello from Kent, England

Hello Everybody
I've done lots of snorkelling, but I'm a virgin diver. I'm off to Phuket in 5 days and plan to do the PADI Open Water course. I came across this site whilst searching the net for Phuket dive school recommendations, i've seen the thread about the guy going on honeymoon, any other recommendations / tips would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Neekolas

Welcome from another of the few UK peeps on the board, what kind of recommendations / tips were you looking for ?

i'm after recommendations for dive schools in phuket - i found a list on the PADI site and mailed a number of them, three replied and have replied promptly to supplementary questions: Santana Diving, Scuba Cat and Warm Water Divers. I've seen Scuba Cat and Warm Water mentioned in some of the Asian threads, i wondered if any posters had positive / negative comments about any of these.

Best bet would be post specific operator questions in the Asia section, plenty of guys out there will tell you what they think

Welcome to SB!! :happywave Put us in your favorites and check in often. This is a great place to learn, compare, argue

I was pretty good at freediving when I got to Scuba, too; I think it helped me feel comfortable in the water, breathing thru a mouthpiece and all. Now, don't hold your breath or ascend fast, things we did as freedivers.
