Your first dives are going to have to be with a pro! It's unlikely anyone will rent you scuba equipment with no qualifications.

Agreed, they'll sell it to you but won't rent it to you. Once qualified, any dives you do abroad - you will always be guided by a Pro.

take advice from the experts atlantic scuba seems the man to talk to dont run before you can walk. ive just passed my rescue but i would not dream of diving alone yet.if things go wrong you only get one chance to get it right and its more fun to dive with a buddy when your a newby

Thanks for the vote of confidence, always happy to help and point people in the right direction if I can.

A quote that can certainly relate to diving - "The more I learn, the more I realise I don't know"
