Hi from London

DivingLeisureLondon · July 5th, 2012, 11:13 PM

Hello. So first admission is that I'm not a CCR diver! And second admission is that I need to learn some etiquette as I went straight ahead and posted without introducing myself first. Sorry about that!

So the reason I've joined is that I've heard that this is a great forum for CCR divers. I run a dive school/club/shop in London with my husband Alex. We bought it 5 years ago from our good friend Paul Toomer (I'm guessing you've probably heard of him or maybe trained with him at some point). A lot of our club members have gone down the tec route, Alex included. I've yet to follow but I'm thinking about it. CCR intrigues me a lot and I'm going to convince Paul to let me do a try-dive on one!

We organise club trips and sometimes we have spaces available, so I'd love to be able to let you know about them as and when they come up. We're a friendly bunch and just like to dive!

Are you by any chance associated with Ocean Leisure and can you boost O2 to 200 bar and trixmix to 300 bar...?

Hello and welcome btw...

My husband worked at Ocean Leisure. It's just a coincidence that we bought a business with Leisure in the title. Works well for us though! And sadly we just fill with air at DLL so no boosting I'm afraid.

Hi and welcome to forum.

Yes do a try dive, you ll love it, dont let people who are fear mongers put you off, they are not boxes of death, those fear mongers only fear it as they are too afraid to understand it, and what benefits it can bring.

Regards

Phil
