I'm a PADI Advanced Open Water - haven't dived in the UK though. I prefer the warmer climes of Thailand, Red Sea etc. Just back from a week of outdoor adventure on the island of Hierro - got a couple of dives in over there in the marine reserve - well worth a look.

BSAC considering a PADI conversion though.

Haven't dived in UK waters for over 10 years.

I was considering breaking my no uk diving rule to dive the Scylla though, as it's the first ship I served on during my illustrious RN career. But I hate the cold.

I'm a PADI open water diver just about to emigrate to Palm Cove (just north of Cairns), so within paddling distance of GBR.
I'm currently in Plymouth where there is a flourishing diving scene, mainly due to the recently sunk HMS Scylla which is intended to become an artificial reef. There are a great many wrecks to dive down here and a number of dive centres (try Looe Divers - dont worry , they don't do sewer diving!!).
Beware - water is cold so you will be diving in a dry-suit, and visibility is distinctly variable so you have to have a bit of luck
