I have a few spaces left on a liveaboard trip I'm running out of Oban, 15-21st April. The boat is the MV Gaelic Rose and she'll be chugging about with Bob Anderson's boat, the MV Halton so lots of opportunity for inter-boat banter.
The itinerary is to go and not do the Sound of Mull but head off to the lesser dived sites- Coll, Tyree, Muck, Rhum, Egg etc as we've caned the SOM mercilessly over the past few years. Weather permitting, of course. If it's blowing like a 2 dollar whore then we'll be up the Sound with, it has to be said, some quite spectacular diving up there. Like the Hispania all covered in gooey life with cracking swim thoroughs and the Rondo, the easiest 50m you'll do. And that's got a couple of under-the-hull swim throughs too which Digger won't be going in as he's too fat and scared of wrecks collapsing on him.
Cost: £375 which includes food, air, diving, accom, cylinders and lead. Nitrox, beer and getting there extra.
As it's a Nottingham University trip you will also need the following (unless you already have it).
Membership of NUSAC (£15)
Membership of the Student Union (£5)
Member of BSAC
Have a current medical certificate
Qualified to Sports Diver (or equivalent)
Plus I have my own requirement which is probably the most important one:
No Internet Weirdos. Normal weirdos are fine.
