havingh gone on holiday to rhodes with my wife for two weeks. I saw a diving couse at rhodes habour. my wife said you have allways wanted to do this course so do it. I enrolled for the course a open water dive course over four days. the cost was in excess of 200 pounds. I was told that I would be come a qualifled diver at the end of the course. The organization was total bedlem. we only went to the dive site by boat once all the other times we had to go by taxi. This ment that all the equipment had to be loaded on and of a land rover and carried down to the site. this was very tme consuming. The main aim of this firms diving day was to attact as many people as possible to try dive and buy the photo that they took. There was actauly only two people on the four day course myself and a young man from iceland. We was kept waiting around most of the day waiting for instuctors to finish with the 10/15people sessons at the try dives. I will say that the instructor we had was indeed very good and was a born instuctor. but he was under a great deal of pressure be couse of these try dives, and had little time for the full course people Plus what they do not tell you is that wwhen you are qulifled you are only allowed to dive in warm open water. If you want to dive in the UK you have to take the same couse again in the Uk. The period that I went was just as the season was begining and it was bad then. So when the season gets into full swing ie JUNE JULY AUGUST you will not have a cat in hells chance as the dive site is just to over swam with at least 4/5 schools all at the same site

I don't think you have to repeat the course in Britain in order to be able to dive here. You would probably only have to do a kind of refresher course as diving here is certainly more difficult(although just as enjoyable) than in the Med. Diving here gives you good experience of diving in more difficult situations so when you go abroad it seems much easier.
