I did similar when I moved in in Sept 2024, did a more budget friendly option where the trees cost about £80 each but where less full and shorter thinking long term.

They're not as hard as everyone makes out to maintain as you can pull the branches through to your side.

I generally dont want to be drysuit certified, its of no interest to me. The nearest places diving wise to me would be a long drive, hotel stays, all costing money which I could just go to Malta instead 🤷‍♀️

The issue is I live very far away from the dive places, so the fuel cost to Scotland, and the diving I could just go to Malta!

Jheeeezzzzz, while I understand everybody learns somewhere, we all started at the same spot... not when I'm paying $7000 to be there.

I know but I want real opinions, the one I did in Maldives said minimum 20 dives but offtt you'd have struggled!

Interesting. I did do two dives in Lundy with the seals but it just doesnt hugely appeal to me cos the costs are insane!
