Hi All from Essex
I have been browsing the forum long enough and thought it was about time I made myself official.
I am an inexperianced (50 + dives) AOW, but have been lucky enough to dive some fantastic sites in Oz, Maldives & Red Sea. Until the last year I had been a typical holiday diver, but now am looking to do a lot more UK diving. I am planning to do my rescue diver course in the next month under the instruction of my neice & partner who have a dive shop nearby (will not mention name or location as am not here to advertise).
I am looking at maybe going to the Andaman Islands in the next six months so if anyone has any info or tips let me know.
As I said I have browsed the forum as a guest and have found the info on here valuable and interesting.

Hi Laurie,

welcome to YD... can't help you with your request for info, but someone here will be able to, I'm sure.

Enjoy the forums

Welcome to the world of posting on YD.
RD next month eh, inland or sea based course??
I'd get a drysuit too if I were you. Wetsuit will probably be ok but you'll get cold during the surface based stuff and if you intend to UK dive then a drysuit is (IMHO) very much a neccesity and not a luxury. Most people I know dive drysuit all year round, even during the 'summer' months.

But whatever, have a great time and some great dives.

Excellent. I did mine at Stoney, tiring but very wothwhile, you will be amazed how it changes your view(s). I reckon 50 dives is a good time to do it, you have pretty good control by then so can concentrate on the RD aspects and not the diving part. Best of luck.
