Hi Jon It's good that you want to get back into diving. If it is 20 years since you dived I would certainly suggest that starting again would be a sensible thing to do. I would think your skills would be pretty rusty after all that time and equipment has changed quite a bit in that period as well and the syllabus will have developed further. The underlying principles and theory are, of course, the same so you may well get through the initial level quicker than others. We'd be happy to talk it all through with you - I assume you have now moved from the Midlands and live somewhere in our area. There is a lot of info about us on our website which you will probably already have looked at but if there is anything else you would like to know you could either give me a call one evening on the number below or drop by Banstead Leisure Centre one Tuesday evening and have a chat. We meet in the café and main pool area from around 21.00 to 22.00 on Tuesday evenings. If you let us know when you are coming we will look out for you. I will not be there next week but there will be a number of others who can help. I hope helps.
