I think anywhere apart from the UK is a good place to learn, as long as you use a good reputable PADI dive centre and feel comfortable.
I wouldn't learn in the UK as you'd be learning in a dry suit, as opposed to a wet suit, and the buoyancy techniques are totally different.
I did my Open Water course in Australia, my Advanced Open Water in Borneo and Thailand and my Underwater Photography Speciality last year in Indonesia.
I'm not just a tropital diver though - I have dived in the Med
Malta is a great place for diving. Perhaps that would be a good starting place, Emma.
As for cameras, there is so much choice now. It can be confusing
Do you have a dive shop near you - that would be the best place to ask! (we have one in Northampton and we're nowhere near the sea
)
