Adam F Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 It has been one of the things I have always wanted to do in life, and when a mate of mine did it this summer it made me want to take the plunge even more....the oppertunity came last night....when I spent an hour at the bottom of Canford School Pool....yep, thats right Scuba diving! It was a 'Try-Dive' night and FOC it gave you the chance to experiance it before taking the plunge with your PADI course, rach and I went along, and as no-one else turned up we had 2 hours of 1-2-1 tuition! I have snorkelled loads in the past but this was much, mcuh better - even in a pool, it is just a sureal experinace. Anyway both of us will be doing the course this summer with a view to having a joint hobby and something to do aboard - I may even do a few dives in the UK. .....So when you see BW anchored on your favourite wreck next year minus the rods - you know whats happening!!

Bob F Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 That's a coincidence. I got out my old BSAC Diving Manual the other day and started reading it. Shame you didn't tell us about the Try-Dive, Karen and I would've been up for it. How much is the Summer coarse? BF Quote
Adam F Posted December 17, 2005 Author Report Posted December 17, 2005 Bob, Sorry - it was a bit last minute. Thye are doing another session next tues, again FOC or can arrange them to suit. They run courses to suit - I say next summer as that is when we are likey to do ours - plus the water is warmer. The course is the PADI Open Water, and costs about Quote
Newboy Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 Aww.... the joy of an anchored boat with no rods and the boat bobbing from side to side..... it seems only yesterday me and my ...... Quote
Sam Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 my uncle has just finished his course and he loves it he has already asked if the new boat is having a dive ladder. sam Quote
shytalk Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 you will love scuba but it does make the fishing seem a bit dull at times but a lot more dangerous , also very labour intensive with several hours prep and cleaning up for an hour under water and it aint cheap Quote
