Diving in the UK…

Posted by Ian France on June 12th, 2009

Hello All,

A few members have stated that whilst they learnt to dive in warmer waters, they would also like to dive in and around the UK. As the UK has some of the most amazing dive locations in the world!

But the UK is more challenging and drysuit’s are the norm! So I’m putting together a series of UK conversion courses together including Advanced Open Water, Dry suit, Nitrox and Deep courses. Everything you need to get into UK diving!

If you are interested get in touch! The first one is 11/12th July and there is already 5 of us!

On this weekend (11th – 12th July), we will be doing an advanced course and a dry suit course.

Day 1, at Wraysbury (near Heathrow) – we will do some dry suit, navigation, and buoyancy skills.
Day 2, at Chepstow (near Bristol) – we will head deeper (~25m – 30m) doing more drysuit skills whilst looking at some wrecks, and all the sites have to offer…

As Chepstow is a few hours away by road, i plan to head up straight from Wraysbury on Day1, stay in a B&B, so that we are fresh and ready for diving on Day 2.

There are no exams/classroom sessions, only some Knowledge reviews to do! The Advanced is all about improving your practical diving skills and building experience… An Advanced course is 225, and a drysuit course is 149, but if you combined them this weekend, then it will cost 299, saving about £70!!! B&B will be about £30 for the evening…

Thanks, enjoy your weekend!!!
Ian.

Thanks
Ian France

   I am interested in the Advanced PADI – are there any more details? EG will the cost include transport from Wraysbury to Chepstow, what time will you start in Wraysbury (I have no car!) and how much will dry suit laon cost or any other extra

   Kind regards

      Hello Nigel,

      Good to hear from you.

      I’d like to be at wraysbury early, about 9am so we can maximise water time! I arrange a car share there and back, so we just split petrol costs. Drysuit etc is already included in the price, only other costs are entry fee’s and spends!

      Anything else, please ask!

      Thanks,
      Ian.

      Look forward to hearing from you!
