Hello

Hi everyone

I am Gary, based in Lichfield staffordshire. I first started diving some 20 odd years ago whilst in the Air Force.

During a family holiday to Cyprus last year my son and I carried out a try dive (got hooked again) and ended up doing a PADI open water course.

On returning to the UK I joined a local club, I started my DM course this weekend (a course I booked some time ago) and try to dive 3 out 4 weekends. (well the wife say's she would like to see me occasionally :-) )

A few months ago I was introduced to alternative kit configuration and view on diving, having carried out some dives I am hooked and looking to the GUE fundies course in the near future.

best wishes
Gary
