Adam F Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 It has been one of the things I have always wanted to do in life, and when a mate of mine did it this summer it made me want to take the plunge even more....the oppertunity came last night....when I spent an hour at the bottom of Canford School Pool....yep, thats right Scuba diving! It was a 'Try-Dive' night and FOC it gave you the chance to experiance it before taking the plunge with your PADI course, rach and I went along, and as no-one else turned up we had 2 hours of 1-2-1 tuition! I have snorkelled loads in the past but this was much, mcuh better - even in a pool, it is just a sureal experinace. Anyway both of us will be doing the course this summer with a view to having a joint hobby and something to do aboard - I may even do a few dives in the UK. .....So when you see BW anchored on your favourite wreck next year minus the rods - you know whats happening!!

Bob F Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 That's a coincidence. I got out my old BSAC Diving Manual the other day and started reading it. Shame you didn't tell us about the Try-Dive, Karen and I would've been up for it. How much is the Summer coarse? BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shytalk Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 you will love scuba but it does make the fishing seem a bit dull at times but a lot more dangerous , also very labour intensive with several hours prep and cleaning up for an hour under water and it aint cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
