    So I finally got aroud to getting my open water licence. I can finally wear that diving themed t-shirt I bought years ago after snorkeling without feeling like a fraud!!

    Anyhoo, I'm just looking for some advice about what to do next- where are the best places to dive, what equipment I should buy etc.

    I live in the UAE and really good sites are in short supply apparently. Any recommendations for locations in the vicinity? Bearing in mind that I don't have a tonne of $$$ to blow through.

    I'm thinking about buying some equipment. I don't want to be one of those newbs who turns up the week after hise dive in the best of everything, but I'd like to acquire bits and bobs over time. I noticed my masks on both days of the open water didn't fit too well so I suppose getting a good one would be the first step. Any rec's on that? Also, what should I look for after the mask?

    Also- should I join a diving club if I get the chance? What are the advantages etc? What's the diving scene like in Ireland? Anything else you feel like throwing in...

    Thanks in advance.
