Hi John. I'm also a BSAC diver and used to do some underwater photography. The Nomad bit is taken from a Dive club I used to be involved with. I'm an open water instructor and dive leader.Good to see other divers on the forum.

really regret the failed medical - as really enjoyed the sport

lotsa dives at St. Abbs and Loch Fyne --- highlights were 2 trips to Malta

unfortunately never got into underwater photography - maybe as well seeing the prices..!!

any to post...?

 

[Nomadscuba]

Done most of the UK sites and plenty abroad.St Abbs a real favourite. Malta and Gozo really nice. Did you do the Blue Hole and The Inland Sea then ?
I'll post a few pics up soon but I only used a film camera as like you said it got quite expensive in digital.

yes to both - excellent. Did my first 50m dive there too...distinctly remember the effects, in being convinced the surface was 'way' too far up...

here's my lovely dive guide from 'MaltAqua' after a cave dive....I'm the one with the distinguished hair colour..!

Hello! So if we need any advice on diving then you're the man to ask.

Hello! So if we need any advice on diving then you're the man to ask.

if you want to dive - contact the local branch of your BSAC
the training is long and involved but you become a 100% diver

there are PADDI dive courses on offer
quite adequate believe for what they cover - but are more suitable to the beginner who wishes to dive say on holiday

nevertheless I do believe they have higher grade dive courses for those who wish to advance ....all IIRC
