But actual diving deep sea, lake, river. Is it a expensive sport(if it is a sport) Mate of mine used to do it, don't see him any more tho, else I'd ask him.

Need to loose a bit of weight before I got in a wetsuit tho else green peace will be round :lol:

All depends on how serious you are about diving.

I'm a PADI open water diver certified to dive to 20m

Weight has bugger all to do with diving, you wear a weight belt and a BCD to allow you to have negative buoyancy

It's hard to describe if you've never done it before.

It's like being able to fly underwater just by breathing in and out.

I don't do inland diving but I've heard good reports about Dosthill might be worth a try it's local to you.

It's probably expensive to set up initially but you can improvise and make it more affordable

Don't use the orange ones though as they contain butane and will result in certain death

Yeah but don't forget your on a budget.
The wet suits I believe are very expensive but there are a few budget suits available.
This one looks quite comfy and its affordable for a beginner.
