Newbie in London

[RichardAD]

Hey guys
Erm well I hope I'm not cheating joining here! I'm about the newbiest newbie you can get... got the scuba bug in Turkey last year with 2 discover scuba dives and just got my PADI referral - I'm off to Portofino in Italy for my OWD cert. in a couple of weeks. Why didn't I take this up years ago? Just can't wait to start building up my dive hours. I'm even looking forward to trying UK diving! Anyhow, You people seem like a friendly bunch so hopefully I can get useful info. on buying kit etc. 'cos I just know I'm going to love this sport - already planning on taking the AOWD and see what happens then...
Cheers
Richard

Thanks for the welcome.

Your'e gonna notice the difference between Ozzie waters and UK. I know which I'd prefer! As I haven't persuaded any of my mates here to start diving (yet) diving buddies are very welcome. Keep in touch.

Cheers
Richard
