2024 trips
We are pleased to announce our trips schedule for 2024. We have again been able to find a new destination to take you to as well as revisiting all of our old favourites and providing a mix of overnight and day trips. As always, members have a priority booking window and receive the best prices for all our trips.
Price rises have begun to cool down, so we’ve been able to hold most prices static from 2023. The club does not aim to make money from operating trips, we run them purely to cover costs and get members out diving.
We again kick off the year with an overseas trip and some warm water diving in the Red Sea in February. There are still some spots available, so do get in touch if you are interested!
For day trips, we will be heading to St Abbs to visit our local world-class dive sites and back to the Farne Islands in October to visit the seals. As in previous years, we return again to the Clyde, this year for a full weekend departing from their home port of Dunoon in a quest for better weather and sea conditions! We will again cross the Forth and over to Anstruther to dive from the brand-new Mako II dive boat.
Club-favourite Lochaline is back on the calendar this year, with just a single 3 night trip. That leaves us space for a NEW trip for the club – a 5 night trip aboard the liveaboard MV Honeydew exploring the Sound of Mull and possibly beyond!
We’ll continue to offer fun diving along with our training courses at Loch Long – perfect for practicing or simply keeping up those skills. As discussed at our 2023 AGM, we are also looking into how ‘member-led’ shore diving can take place in small groups – more to follow on this.
All our trips are priced for certified drysuit divers to execute their dives in a buddy pair – following the directions of the skipper and launching a dSMB when necessary. If that’s not yet where you’re at, we can provide a guide at extra cost.
