<font color='#00FFFF'> Just wanted to say hi. &nbsp;I'm just a holiday diver (Padi Advanced) and have only once tried british diving in Stoney. &nbsp;But if anyone wants a buddy for warmer climes then I'm here so do get in touch.

LOL... Hey Squirt welcome to the boards, but with all due respect making a statement like &quot;British Diving just does nothing for me!&quot; based on a dive at Stoney is a bit of a joke..

Have a look at these pictures they might go a little way to helping you understand what British diving can be about.

I hope you have the opportunity to try out some real British diving before you give up on it..

Best regards and good luck with your annual dip.

Dave..

<font color='#00FFFF'>Hey didn't mean to offend you Dave. &nbsp;Everyone to their own. &nbsp;I just don't like freezing cold water and hoods! &nbsp;Obviously I'm just a soft girl! &nbsp;Also I can get to the red sea as quick as I can to St. Abbs!! &nbsp;Your photo's are lovely and the seal is sooo cute.

You didn't offend squirt, not at all... if anything I was saddened that you'll miss out on so much good stuff, but my missus is of the exact same mindset as yourself... she thinks we all mad..

BTW the pictures aren't mine I just pinched the links to give you a great view of some of the things on offer.

All the best with your diving... can't argue with you about the Red Sea mind... fantastic place

Dave.

Hi Squirt

Welcome to the boards, each to their own. Cold water - we had one of ours doing a 25m dive in a pool shorty the other week off Dover.

Check out some dive reports for what its like:- Canterbury Divers

These are not all our dives this year just a selection, we don't take ourselves to seriouse as you can see, but we do have a laugh and some very good dives.

Dive Safe

<font color='#728FCE'>Hi Squirt

Don't give up on it just yet, Stoney is not the best diving in the UK, I'm off to the farnes 1/2 Nov and off to the Sound Of Mull with my other alf &amp; a small YD crew. If you want to get some advice from my partner Liz, drop me a PM as we are in W.Yorks.

I am just a soft girl too but i love UK diving in the sea! You might be able to get to the red sea fairly quickly but you can take more luggage to Mull and the diving is awesome! And the beer i better! LOL.

Seriously , we all love warm water clear viz but we also love seeing all the wee beasties and wrecks around britain.

I am in west yorks too so if chris can talk you into coming out to play with us then we would love to have you along!

anyhow welcome aboard..

Thanks. &nbsp;
