Scuba Diving in Doha/Qatar
Hello
1st time poster here. I am looking to move to Doha in the near future and wondered what the scuba scene is in the country? I am an experienced recreational and technical diver with many logged dives.
When I move over what wetsuit shouold I pack? I have a 2mm shorty, a 5/6mm Med suit and 7/8mm suit for the English summertime dives here.
If I wanted to add to my qualifications in regards technical diving are what are my options and/or opportunities?
Which are the best dive co's to book with and are there any groups that dive socially etc?
Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I know that there are a few questions here, i just want to now what to expect before coming into the country.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Spiderman80. Many thanks for your response, I aim to move (from the UK) after Ramadan and will contact you upon my arrival.
Khalliwalli, Thank you also for your information, I understand that diving the Persian Gulf isn't the best in the world but when I have dived there previously (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah) I have found it adequate enough pleasure diving. When I wish to challenge myself more I will just have to investigate locations with more technical requirement etc. Thanks again both.
