What Gear Will I Need
For try dives, just a swimming costume and t-shirt you don’t mind getting wet.

Divers were able to see:
Ida at 32 meters
Pandora at 24 meters
Oslo Fjord at 14 meters.
Big well done to Alex Aleksandra Pieczarka for making her depth progression and reaching depth of 33 meters and Henry Moore for completing his ADP.
Thank you to: Victoria Marie for being so supportive to everyone and organizing accomodation; Louise for wonderful stories and a little bit of touring while on the boat,; Bryn and Mark for making us laugh and entertained through the whole trip.

Leeds SCUBA Club3 weeks agoWhat a whirlwind this last week has been! 🌊 A group of our members took a fantastic trip to Dunoon to explore the stunning Scottish lochs. Over 7 days, they completed an impressive 11 dives, visiting Loch Long, Loch Goil, Loch Striven, Holy Loch, and Loch Fyne.
It was a trip full of firsts for many of our divers:
- Stewart and Laura completed their first sea dives.
- Amelia and Matt experienced their first wreck dives from a RIB.
- Victoria attempted some dive leading with lots of support from Darren… it was not always smooth sailing
- Louise made her return to sea diving after a short hiatus.
- Kieran practiced his navigation skills underwater.
We’d like to extend a special thanks to the Leeds Uni BSAC club for teaming up with us and providing cylinder fills. Huge shoutout as well to Wreckspeditions and Dunoon Divers, who saved the trip by stepping in to provide cylinder fills! Thank you also to Clydebank Sub Aqua Club for being on standby, you are superstars!
Well done to Victoria for organising her first trip and thank you to Darren for helping with the organisation and for ensuring everyone had safe, enjoyable dives. We are so proud of you all.
Beautiful views, amazing dives and excellent company! Here’s to more adventures, memories and cross club cooperation! 🌟
