Anyone else into SCUBA diving?

[Damon]

I've been diving for a while now and have noticed that there is always quite a few people who ride bikes amongst the scuba groups.

Does anyone here dive?

I'm an advanced open water diver with speciality certifications in Nitrox and dry suit Also, I'm half way through my deep diver cert and am looking to start my resue diver course as soon as possible.

Cheers all,
Damon

I got my PADI open water thing when I was in year 10, loved it, but sadly cost a fair bit. Went for one dive since.

I would love to get back into it, but can't afford to at the moment, and don't know anyone else that is doing it!

Still got my BCD that hasn't been used!

I have done a bit, I tend to mostly dive when I am on holiday so its never as often as I'd like

I would quite like to do my PADI AOW next time im away

Padi AOW here... Although I'm looking to do a conversion to BSAC soon.

Haven't been diving for a while though. Going to wait until march next yeat (when my wife's on maternity leave) and get my regs/drysuit/tanks etc serviced ready for a summer of diving.

PADI Divemaster - but don't dive in the UK, it's cold.

i lived in Thailand for 7/8 years and been a DM, made videos, and ended up as a Dive Control Specialist instructor in 13 subjects (teaching the basic controllers to some degree)... I even run a dive school... Dived in most of Asia... 3500 dives and I do not do cold water...

I like the tropical fish and the Video job is the best in the world...

It becomes boring when it becomes a job and I will say it is so nice how so many ppl think it is OK to fuck-up the seas and oceans as much as the land....

Did PADI in my first year of college for £10 because one of my lecturers was an instructor for them

Mind you didn't cover alot over 6 weeks, 4 confined water dives and 2 open at Ellerton lake and Capernwray never got to do any ocean dives due to weather conditions at the time.

Beyond rental the gears just far too much £ for me to really bother at present in future though wouldn't mind going back and getting advanced open water qualifications when funds allow.

Did PADI open water in the Maldives, then AOW at Capernwray in Oct 2006 in a wetsuit, just a little bit colder .

Only dives since have been a holiday in Sharm and back in the Maldives again.

Would like to do the drysuit course and maybe a few dives around the UK but time/money etc seem to keep getting the better of me.

PADI advanced open water and Nitrox qualified.

I've logged about 95 drives, none of which were in Europe; too cold - my wetsuit is 0.5mm!

last weekend the guys who hired everything got charged £55 for 2 days (thats including cylinder fills). We did have to pay £17 a day for entry to stoney cove though. got 6 dives in in 2 days.

If you are local to london they run a pool session each tuesday at crystal palace diving pool. 5m deep but we practice search and rescue techniques and always learn alot.

always fancied it had a go in a local pool a few times
my brother is a scuba instructor and said he will take me out
when i get a bit more confident he said devils bridge is good first place ( think its a river but not sure )
but the gear is expensive so dont think id do it as a hobby
