Anyone training in Cambridge or Cambridge area?

Has anyone managed to get it working yet? Still gets stuck on 'register' for me.

Im quite a big guy and i found them ok (without kit though), its a bit unnerving when you first get into them, especially if its half full of water, but like someone else said, you've just gotta crack on, the faster you go the faster itll be over, simple as. Having someone ahead of you panicking is ...

Yeah mate im on my second year of it, starting on monday. Its a good course, quite easy, and a good laugh. Where are you going to do it?
