Recommendations for doing drysuit PADI speciality in UK

[Poozer]

Any suggestions for where & who with we should do drysuit training in the UK? We did our AOW & Nitrox in the Red Sea so we need serious help to acclimatise!

We're moving to Woolwich soon but happy to travel for good professional fairly priced training.

Woolwich is a bit far from the only Puffin I know of in the UK - Scotland.

Drysuits in the UK are not so much a speciality, but a day to day essential.

Check out Hellfins they organise their own diving and training etc. I have had no problems diving with them.

If you want good personal training then Mark Powell has a very good reputation. While he does a lot of technical training, I have no doubt that he would help you or recommend a suitable instructor.

My sister is just starting up a business here in Plymouth (South West), 'In Deep' (http://www.indeep.co.uk) - they can do drysuit training!

ive just done my drysuit specility and thought it was a waste of money. i was the only experienced diver on the course. my instucter had 5 open water students and me. when we were in the pool he said i should just join the OW guys and go over my skills. I DIDNT PAY TO GO OVER MY SKILLS AGAIN!!! when we went out for the open water dive, i didnt even go with the instucter, ended up buddying some random guy from the club. i didnt even learn anything!
