Scuba Diving in the Winter
It's cold, it's wet and who in the world would think about scuba diving?
Addicts, that's who. It's amazing how many times my phone rings on these cold days. I answer it and someone is on the end asking when we'll start diving in the UK this year. Some just want to come to the pool for a play or perhaps they want to come on holiday with us to dive somewhere warm.
Even throughout the winter we go to the pool every second weekend to teach beginners, refreshers and introductory scuba diving courses. It's amazing how many people turn up just to play in the pool and become weightless again for an hour.
Then again maybe they come for the pub afterwards when we can sit beside the fire and have a beer and talk about diving. So many of the plans for the new season get decided in the pub. I guess it's the same for all businesses.
During the last 2 weeks everybody has been interested in taking Rescue courses or Divemaster courses. It makes a great start for the year as we'll be finishing the dives for the rescue early in Spring and everybody will be set up for the new seasons diving. There experience as well helps the club as the more experienced the buddies the safer the diving is for all.
Just writing about it is getting me excited to dive again.
I have tried to link this to a good little website that is in the process of being set up at the moment. They want to list all the dive sites they can. If you have a write up or want to comment on a site click on the link. It's called divereview.co.uk.
