Hi All

My name is Richard, I'm 34 years old & I live in the UK, I passed my Padi Open water Diver course a few years ago but due to personal reasons have been unable to progress with any diving since
I have got to a point in my life where I've started thinking "is this all life has to offer me" I would love to get back into diving & see the world,I absolutly loved my course and I often think about the possibility of working up to a career in diving of some description. A diving job would be a dream for me even though I am very much a novice.I would hate to go through life wishing I had tried to follow my dream and not done it I honestly have no clue on how to even start to realise this dream. Any advice would be welcome

Anyway glad to be part of this community

Richard.

PADI has your path layed out for you. I assume you have PADI OW so your next step is advanced. Go to local dive shops and talk to them about your long term goals, when you find a LDS that feels right and has listened to you enroll with them and take your classes. Look at it as one step at a time and it will not be so daunting. keep reading the boards and ask lots of questions.Good luck Carpe diem

Ahhh thanks for the info, I'll have to find a local dive centre and speak to them.
