	BLYM looks nice, thank you. It may well be that we run a week away with the family around me doing the course at this rate over the easter hols if nothing comes up in term time. I must be one of the few who want to avoid holiday sessions.

	There is an Instructors Network page on Facebook where you could ask, probably to good effect, but also think about choosing a coastal venue. You can do a conversion on your pb2 pretty quickly and cheaply, and I think you might get more out of a coastal course.
	the same, but different...

	Thanks Nessa. A coastal course at Easter is something I'm considering, if we can arrange a holiday for the others at the same time. I'd not realized I could convert PB2, rather than take the whole thing again. Mind, not good at tides...

	For pb2 conversion you can undertake this as a 3 hour private lesson. It's not a test, more advice and a run through doing pb2 actions on coastal water. As for DI, you will be fine, just know how tides work. It is best to do the coastal courses rather than convert later. Feb HT is cold on the water, I found out when doing PBI. It's fine if you are moving about, but you aren't on these courses.
