Anywhere you like – but do keep in mind, there are going to be some diving sites across Britain which are easier for beginners than others. I will always recommend getting in touch with a local PADI dive school and jumping on a Discover Local Diving session. Even better, book on a professionally led dive with the school itself.
Do also keep in mind that waters across Britain are likely to be extremely cold at times – this is certainly nothing compared to diving and swimming in the Indian Ocean!
If you are new to cold water diving, or are thinking about giving it ago, make sure you read my reasons to cold water dive blog! Here I talk more about what cold water diving entails, the gear we use, and why it opens up a whole new world to scuba divers!
If you aren’t yet a scuba diver then you may want to give a few of my other blogs a read, including what beginners should know about scuba diving and PADI Open Water Diver blogs for more information on what it takes to gain your scuba certification.
That said, there’s plenty for you to see and do across British waterways and diving hotspots. Make a point of checking out my top dive locations from the above and see if you can spot a grey seal or two!
