Guest TigerNet Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 There is a reason that I am asking this question that will become clear in a couple of weeks. Until then, I would like to know: 1. Any existing and active divers? Level of qualification? 2. Any divers who have lapsed but would like to get back into it? 3. Any members who have never dived but would like to give it a go? 4. Where are you located? Many thanks in advance!!! Cheers Nick
Guest Zone-MR Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) I dive occasionally. Basic PADI Open Water Diver qualification here. Haven't had much time / opportunity to go diving recently, but I wouldn't call myself lapsed. Newcastle / UK heh... That gives me the idea of making a no-decompression dive calculator/electronic logbook app for smartphones/PPCs. Could come in handy. Edited May 29, 2006 by Zone-MR
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 I've always wanted to have a go but never get the time. There is a local diving center about four miles from my house to no excuse really. http://www.andark.co.uk/site/default.aspx
Guest mike-oh Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 Yeh, i've never been but love snorkling so would love scuba diving i'm sure. I'm in the leeds area and looking for a hobby!
Guest bachy Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 Advanced open water diver (PADI) - definately consider myself lapsed - havent blown any bubbles in the water since 2000 (well apart from in the bath, but we wont go into that). Live in the midlands, last time I dived i hired a bottle and regs from stoney cove dive center - which decided to let in more water than air @ 30 meters! About 5 mins after I surfaced from that eventful dive, the emergency boat was called out to someone else - who unfortunately got tangled up and had drowned. Decieded that it wasnt a way I would want to go, so now I fly microlights instead :)
Guest TigerNet Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 ...interesting replies...anyone else? I am in the process of buying a dive school and was thinking of a MoDaCo local event to include 'try dives' in the school's pool...could then progress to trips etc...thoughts??? Cheers Nick
Guest Pondrew Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 I'm cautiously interested but a complete beginner. Not even much of a swimmer truth me told!
Guest Jamma14 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Sounds interesting...I'm a qualified PADI Open Water Diver but haven't done any diving for at least a couple of years, would be good to get back into it..whereabouts is the diving school?
Guest TigerNet Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 ...right...take a look at www.londonschoolofdiving.co.uk... Cheers Nick
