Does anyone on here dive, go away for dive weekends, or know of any good places (either inland or coastal) for a good dive spot around the UK, preferably more southern but any trip considered?
I'm an experienced DCS (Dive Control Specialist) and have spent a lot of time teaching and leading dives around Asia as well as recreational diving around other parts of the world but haven't done a lot of diving since I've been back in the UK.
I'm starting to get the itch again and would love to know if anyone knows any spots/sites or are planning any trips.
I'm not too fussy about the dive for now and so a slow meander around the outcrop of a beach or any other fascinating feature is fine by me. I've done a lot of wreck diving both in deep choppy waters and protected shallows so 40 minute choppy boat journeys to a deep wreck doesn't appeal at the moment, but I'm more than happy to look at anything that requires a boat journey around to a cove or out to a cold water reef.
ATM it's more to scratch an itch than to embark on a big adventure. Anything really that I could combine with a trip away whether overnight or longer.
More long term we're looking at getting a boat so the bigger trips can come then.
Oh and BTW by inland I don't mean things like Stoney Cove and Gildenburgh I'm thinking more an underwater cave, something geological or aquatic life.
Sorry about the long post
