Diving Trips

The Club dives all around Scotland at all times of the year and carries out numerous activities from underwater photography to wreck exploration.

Diving activities usually take place mostly on Sundays. This local diving covers from Todhead in the south to Portknockie in the north.

A day's diving off the club's 5.5m Osprey Eagle RIB costs only £15 plus your air.

During the year there are weekend trips to locations around Scotland: Skye, Lochaline, Scapa Flow, Oban, Ullapool and Mull are all popular destinations. 

Week long expeditions are also organised; North Uist, Orkney, Shetland, Ireland and the Red Sea are some recent destinations.  On these expeditions accommodation is typically arranged in self-catering cottages, campsites, B&Bs or "live-aboards" (i.e. boats with accommodation).
