Hi all
I certified(Padi OW) last September in Crete and due to the arrival of my Daughter I haven't been able to dive since. I am currently planning a holiday in the Med with some friends and as one of the other people is an experienced diver I started looking forward to getting back in the water. Which has led me to arranging another diving holiday later in the year, so I have two weeks of diving to look forward to this side of christmas. I have booked myself on a Scuba review to brush up my skills.
Having started thinking about diving again I have realised that there is a lot to learn, both inside and out of the water. The following are some of my questions.
I would like to experience diving here in the UK as it would be alot more accessible, what is the likelihood that diving at this time of year could put me off ?
Someone said that I should consider doing the AOW in the UK in order to get used to diving here, is this a good idea ?
Is it wise to go straight onto the AOW after OW or would I benefit from logging more dives before?
What level of kit would you reccomend a newby like me buying at this stage ? or would you reccomend waiting until I get more experience ?
Anywhere you would reccomend for diving in November ?
Sorry to babble on, but I have been giving it a lot of thought.
Thanks in advance
