All levels of diver and will be tailored to suit "Ocean divers" in particular, ie max depth 20 metres, which will also serve as a good pre-season warm up for everyone.

We will be travelling up on Good Friday and diving both Saturday and Sunday, two dives a day, then coming back home on the Bank Holiday Monday.

Accommodation

I have arranged B&B for a group of 12 all staying in the same Guest House,which is called "The Cuillins" owned and run by a good friend of the Skipper. You can check it out on the "Tarbert Loch Fyne" web site,it looks fine by me, and the Landlady has reduced the rate for the group booking.

Costs for the trip are £40.00 per person per day, which includes 2 dives, drinks and snacks. Accommodation is B&B £25.00 per person per night. Air fills are £3.00 for a single and £5.00 for a twin set.
