| I trained OW in Lanzarotte, did AOW in France, then did an orientation course (and a d/s course) in Stoney. Followed by loads of shallow Stoney dives, shallow sea dives and zero viz experience in both Stoney and Wraysbury by going somewhere quiet and kicking up the silt. Winter training in Stoney to get used to the cold etc. Then built up UK sea conditions. At the same time moving from single to single and pony, twins and wing. Slow and steady progress in my view. Loads of dives none too adventurous but all enjoyable, even inland stuff. Enjoyed the dives as they became a little more difficult but still worth doing in their own right.
Worked for me (so far)
