Arrhhhh... an english site!?!

Having spent the majority of my time at work on scubaboard.com imagine my surprise when someone pointed me in the direction of this place.

Its nice to see that the brits are just as... ermm, technically minded as those across the pond.

Not sure what the proceedure is for these things but here I go:

PADI Divemaster
Don't own a wing,
Or twinsets,
However still as enthusiastic as those that do.

Always up for a dive so if anyone in the Cambridge region is looking for a Buddy then let me know. Can't beat the delights of Stoney Cove!

Ed.

Nice to see a typically english slant to the board, that "Have a nice day" sentiment can get a little worrying after a while.

Thumbs up Welcome to YD Ed!

Get in amongst it mate and enjoy! You don't have use twins-n-wing here - a snorkel and fur-lined jock-staps is acceptible also

If we can help, just ask mate.

Cheers,

Yeah, don't worry, we don't do that here! Welcome to YD, you'll find that the other benefit of us being a touch more 'local' is that you can get onto one of our trips - have a look on the Planned Trips forum and see if there is anything which suits.

Otherwise feel free to join the abuse, virtual kit fondling and diving discussions

Cheers
H

P.S. Have a nice day. You know, in case you were missing that cr*p

Lies, Lies, Lies

They can't run if you put their hind legs in yer wellies

Anyway, that's all to do with the black watch regiment getting lost and sleeping over in sub zero conditions in a sheep pen!

F'all to do with the rest of us
