Online Diving Resources

YD is certainly very good, and very busy, but I didn't have time in my
life to keep up with all the posts!

Other forums worh considering are www.ukdivers.com. Bit smaller,
quieter, and easier to get into that YD.

Also if you're based in Scotland www.congeralley.com is pretty good
both as a forum and for maps of dive sites etc up this way.

Shop around until you find a site you like!

Hi Divers!

I'm quite a newly qualified diver and I'm trying to find somewhere
online where I can meet dive buddies, organise trips out and see
reviews of different places. Does such a website exist?!

Thanks,

Steve

Congratulations.

There are probably a lot of sites that claim to provide the information and
contacts you're looking for, but none are likely to be better than a forum
established for that purpose. Rec.Scuba is such a forum when we can get
away from political and gun discussions, but it's largely US based.
uk.rec.scuba, on the other hand, is, as the name suggests, UK based and,
frankly, a lot less contentious and a lot more focused on diving that this
forum is.

Hi Steve,

uk.rec.scuba is a bit quiet at the moment, but if you're based in the
UK you might want to try

British Sub Aqua Club SCUBA diving forum: www.bsacforum.co.uk
Yorkshire Divers: www.yorkshire-divers.com

for UK based scuba chat, and for information about various places around
the world to dive www.bsactravelclub.com is pretty good. I should admit
to the fact that I'm one of the people that runs the BSAC forum.

cheers,

Ben
