Re: Anyone dive the UK?

Yes, and and many Brutish Sub Aqua Club members dive all round the UK!
It's a rather vague question; what exactly do you want to know?
If you are used to warm clear reef dives you may find it a bit
challenging!
Low vis, cold water, square profile often wreck dives are pretty much
the norm.
Most serious divers use dry suits. Ability to use a delayed SMB and

Probably more the former, due to a combination of a couple of factors,
not the least of which is the current economy.
This also appears to have finally been the "straw that breaks the

I see that someone has referenced a previous post I made some years ago about
the best time for diving in PNG...nothing to add to that...would like to return
to Max Benjamin's diving resort on the island of New Britten in PNG...if he is
still running it...some exquisite corals there...one dive site close to the

Unlike rec.scuba, chilly is still alive and well and probably getting
ready to leave for Belize yet again. Me, I'm staying dry until May.
Then Wakatobi here I come!
I check out Scubaboard every once in a while, probably a better chance
of getting a response there though it's also not as popular as it used

Hi Greg. I recognize your name from days past. I recall someone named
Chilly, too. Don't see her posts either.
On rec.scuba drying up, I figured as much. I tried a couple SCUBA forums
and didn't have much luck there either.
I'll try to remember to come back and do a report...it will be a long one.

Sounds Great, however, Not enough dough and I am recovering from Tommy
John surgery - and battling an infection that developed in the elbow
incision. The elbow wouldn't stop me but I used up a lot of
vacation/sick time.
Wasn't the last time in the part of the woods - there was a Tsunami?
