I'm NAUI but I want to do a PADI conversion seeing as they are bigger.

I wanted to get my wife qualified while we were on holiday next month and do a few refreshers - it's been a few years since I've dived.

Who did you book Jamaica through?

It was one of those all inclusive jobbies, so was part of the resort.

Cool - I'm interested in checking it out because I'm looking at a 'sun' holiday for next month.

Incidentally, I can zip up a whole bunch of my IE favourites that have various dive shops and tours that run out of London. I did a bit of research on this a few months ago when I finally convinced Ange to get qualified.

Let me know you want them and I'll mail them to your work address.

Tim, I've got a friend who does all this diving malaryk. I'll see if I can get any info off her.

Tim - save it for the warm, clear blue waters of foreign shores. Its too bloody cold and dark here.. you'll end up convincing yourself that jumping into a flooded gravel pit is a great way to spend a weekend

I did my PADI many years ago, and its a little like learning to ride a bike...you dont forget how to do it, just need a little reminder every now and again.

Totto is a PADI,well he is from Northern Ireland which is close enough!!
