Diving around xmas near London? (21-27/12)

Gentlefolks,

I'll be heading your way (from Paris, France) around xmas this year. I was
wondering if it would be worth dragging the reg and drysuit along?

That's just a fancy way of saying "any diveable water around and anyone who
wants to go dive it with me?". I'd be happy to split any transport cost, of
course ;) I'd be "allowed" to go dive one or two days while there, but am
free to choose which days ;)

Sorry can't help over the Christmas bit. I know a few of the clubs
do a Boxing day (Try out the pressies) trip.

He always seems to get nervous when the surface goes solid, good vis though!
