Hi everyone,

Hi Caroline

I live just up the road from you. Shark Scuba in Colchester often arrange trips to inland sites and that would give you a route into UK diving ... and if you are really unlucky I may tag along too!!

If you've not been diving for a while why not come along to one of the pool sessions and do a review or just have a splash?

Mal, Thanks for the info, it was actually Shark Scuba that recommended me to come on here. Would be great to go diving again. Where do you go for your inland diving? Never really been keen on inland waters, murky sand pits etc.... I do not have a drysuit so that could be a prob at present. I do however have a semi-dry which I am assuming would be ok for the summer.

I tend to go to Stoney Cove or Guildenburg ..... they are murky, cold and the vis often not so great but on the plus side you are guaranteed to get a dive and whilst getting back into diving are really useful because there is not the time pressure that a boat has. In the summer midweek they can be really nice days out .... the weekends tend to be a bit hectic.

Shark Scuba often do midweek two day trips in the Summer and they are fine in a semi dry .... you are right though about this time of year ..... a drysuit is pretty essential

By May time it will still be cold but just about doable in a semi dry so if you are interested, drop me a line and I am sure we'll sort something out.
