hi fox,
i dive, or have done in past, got myself to advanced an happy to stay that way.
if you can get to australia or indonesia its fab out there mate, like swimming in a pool, warm an clear generally. did try in the uk but cold an murky.. bali is good, great barrier reef fantastic an you can get deals on live aboards. not done red sea tho did visit sharm el shiek last nov, very warm an clear but as me an missus only had a week, she would have cut me bits off if i had suggested nipping off for a day
