Time & Location
Nov 23, 2024, 9:00 AM – Nov 24, 2024, 3:00 PM
Oban, Oban, UK
About the event
We have 2 hard bottomed boats available, each with a divers lift. Dive sites can include wreck dives, scenic loch dives and drift dives too. This trip is open to pleasure divers and those looking to complete their PADI Advanced Open Water Diver training with us.
Generally, the plan is:
Friday
if you can arrive earlier, we will do a check dive in a shallow local, protected bay.
This will allow you to get comfortable, check your weighting etc before the following morning.
Saturday & Sunday
2 dives per day from a boat
Sunday, a few shallow shore dives, including drift options.
As with most of our trips, we will arrange the evening meals on the Saturday evening for everyone. (Its a very 'sociable' weekend!) As ever, boat fees will be split between those attending and any training costs are additional.
If you are pleasure diving (ie. not on training), you will need to be PADI AOW or equivalent, experienced in diving from a boat and UK sea diving experience. You must also have and be able to deploy a DSMB confidently.
ACCOMMODATION - It is up to each attendee to arrange their own accomodation, we can advise on where to stay but we can't book for you.
Travel - This year, we are exploring sharing the cost of a mini-bus for those that are interested, it will come with a cost but will be leaving from the shop.

Although you've been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light.

If you have the mental discipline and commitment to learn and follow self-reliant diving techniques, you'll bolster your skills and confidence when diving alone, in a dive pair or as part of a team.
