Good fun? Try all of the above!!............
Just got back from an excellent weekend diving up in Oban. We stayed over in a place called Loch Aline and our boat, the Silver Swift, travelled from Tobermoray each day to pick us up.
If you like wrecks, then you have just found paradise - we dived the Shuna, the Hispania, Thesis and the Rondo. All fantastic dives with the added attraction of seals, dolphins and some fantastic sea life - dogfish, tope, wrasse, pollack, cod and, my favourites, tompot blennies.
If you need any further information on diving anywhere around Oban, Loch Fyne or Loch Long, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Enjoy. | |

| Try scapa flow
Scapa Flow is a sheltered open lagoon, encircled by the Orkney islands. It contains some of the most interesting wrecks in the world. For years it was the main anchorage of the British Royal Navy, and has many relics left of British naval history.
In June 1919, the interned German navy scuttled most of its High Seas Fleet to prevent them from falling into Allied hands. Despite subsequent salvage, 8 of them remain and provide excellent wrecks.  | |

| Scapa... aaaaahhhh!!
Going back up to Scapa in July. We have booked a liveaboard so that we can get over to the blockships at the furthest point of the Flow.
It is excellent diving, especially if you like wrecks, but you are right Linz - it is quite advanced. Well worth the extra training and experience though.
Safe diving everyone.  | |

Enjoy. | Couldn't agree more. I was in Oban and I took a lot of video that you can see at http://www.divetheworld.com/diving/shipwrecks/ if you like.

Nice video's. Evocative of NC wreck diving. We wear gloves though.
