Hi all

Hello,

At the moment im PADI AOW with Nitrox qualified in 2004 but then stopped diving untill March 2006 since then Ive done 81 dives nearly all of which have been carried out in Scottish waters.

Im currently signed up to GUE Fundementals in October, so thought I would log in here too. There are a few names i recognise from YD, look forward to actually meeting up in person with a few of in time.

There seems to be a severe lack of DIR/GUE experianced divers this side of the boarder which i think is a shame as we have some cracking diving up here.

Gareth

Hi and welcome Gareth!

There's a few of your fellow Scots that have been through the training, but I think they've slipped across the border - grass must be greener here

Having said that there are quite a few of us just south of the border, so I'm sure we can hook up somewhere sometime

Being from south of the border the grass is definately greener this side but thats down to the amount of rain we seem to get up here, No hose pipe bans at least.

Hi Gareth, and welcome to the forum

Pity you couldn't make it along to Loch Fyne on Saturday as we had a real good time, and some pretty decent weather too! Never mind, I'm sure we'll get a dive together some time.

Bye for now,
andy
