just got back from egypt and passed my padi open water diving


even went and did some extra dives saturday, followed the instructor with someone else who did the same course as me and the instructor had us swimming around at 25m

A friend of mine did this whilst on holiday in Australia a few weeks ago. He enjoyed it so much , he's now moving over there!!

Ben.

Well done mate. Best I ever did was junior scuba diver. Never got round to doing the next dive which would have taken me to open water diver.
Mind you, I did that long enough ago that dive computers were literally just receiving their premiere on Tomorrows World

Well done then. You must have worked hard on the theory too.

The nice thing about PADI is they seem to have good record-keeping system. My G/F did hers in Singapore then didn't dive for years and lost her certificate. She rang PADI 20 years after and they said no problem they had her records and they sent her replacement certificate the same week.

Congratulations!

Well done. I did mine about this time last year out in Sharm-el-Sheikh, was absolutley fantastic. A combination of the mrs not being able to complete the course (dodgy ears) and me really not fancying bobbing around in sodding cold murky water around the UK means I haven't been since though
