The openwater 1 course was great! lot of fun, and i've now got many new toys to play with! I Started my advanced course about 2 months ago, but my instructer has had an operation, and has been out of diving for a while. When she's better (and after my schools exams), i'll do about 2 months worth of catchup dives <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well good luck to you and remeber there is no subsitute for experience. Take as many classes as you can and dive as often as you can.
