Sounds good, seems like AOD would be a good stepping stone. I'd be up for it.The cost of going fro OD to AOD then AOD to SD is the same as OD to SD.
As a OD your limited to 20m
As a AOD you can go to 30m.
I can run the courses through Fyne-divers.
I saw the discounts and was originally planning on an Otter suit but in the end I went with a Seaskin to keep some money aside for a set of regs. Should hopefully have it by September. In the meantime I might start renting from a different dive shop, the one we currently go to doesn't have the greatest suits.However, just going diving is good to. I get my suit back around the 12th Aug.
Have you looked at the BSAC discount for buying a drysuit.
