How many UK recreational divers?

I have been having a search around, but not really found any figures.

I am curious to know how many estimated recreational divers there are in the UK in total - this is regardless of training agency.

If anyone has a clue, I would be obliged.

Don't count me. I just talk about diving on the internet. I've never been in the water in my life.

So still on three I'm afraid.

This could turn into a very long thread (about 4000 postings long)

Are you after divers who dive the UK, or divers who are from the UK but dive both either at home or abroad?

I am curious how many divers are from the UK - how much of the UK dives?

They say that fishing and football are the top recreational passtimes in the UK and I just wondered how much of the UK dives?

(I hate football, and fishing is time I could spend diving!)
