Anyone tried this? I need an outside interest to de-stress and the place local to me does a 5 day session for £295

Is it a good way to unwind?
 
Thanks for all the info,

Where in the UK are clear waters? I don't think I want to go deep or even risk danger tbh....

My current project is building a stealth camper and travelling Europe in it...

I thought if I was had the quals it would just give me an extra boost to my travels...
 
I'd recommend BSAC(British Sub Aqua Club) over Padi(Professional Association of Diving Instructors)

I've done around 30 scuba dives across the world, my late father had finished over 400 and was a scuba instructor. Padi costs a fortune for a "qualification" that is supposed to be recognized world-wide, regardless if you go anywhere and demonstrate you have the ability and knowledge they won't stop you hiring gear and going out for a dive.

Don't I get PADI qualified here for £295

I really just wanted to be able to do it in the warm climates when away in the camper :)
 
On your own? That's just dumb.

I'm halfway through my PADI Advanced, last dive was 16th Oct off the Farne Islands. Two Wetsuits and I was just about warm. Be too cold now. Had to put the course on hold because I got sick. Hopefully finish it next year, then i'll invest in a drysuit.

Wouldn't they do group dives ?
 
I have no interest in seeing a seal @ 4 c


I'm talking deep blue lagoons with some colour and stuff... :D

Not interested in going that deep, Just chill stuff....
