My Scottish Coastal Travels May-September 2022

[SubMarineBiologist]

Hello everyone!
So I figured I would make a thread to be able to easier reach out to local divers as the vessel I will be on makes its way around the Scottish coast. This trip is my job as a research officer where I'll generally be working two weeks on, one off.

So far, the schedule looks like this:

Week	Port Location
09/05/2022	Stonehaven, Peterhead
16/05/2022	Fraserburgh, Macduff
23/05/2022	OFF WEEK
30/05/2022	Wick > Orkney
06/06/2022	Kinlochbervie, Stornoway
13/06/2022	OFF WEEK
20/06/2022	Ullapool > Gairloch
27/06/2022	Kyle > Mallaig
04/07/2022	OFF WEEK
11/07/2022	Tobermory > Oban
18/07/2022	Oban
25/07/2022	OFF WEEK
01/08/2022	TBC
08/08/2022	TBC
15/08/2022	OFF WEEK
22/08/2022	TBC
29/08/2022	TBC
05/09/2022	OFF WEEK
12/09/2022	TBC
19/09/2022	TBC

This is a working, evolving beast to say the least, so it's subject to change and I will add to the thread where I am if I am seeing dive buddies!
Meanwhile, if you are local to any of the current listings, feel free to reply here and we can keep in touch in case you'd like to dive with this enthusiastic, conservative, very green diver!

Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Theo

Hey folks, I'm club diving this weekend but the following week (commencing 27th) we are making our way around to Ullapool!

I recommend Puffin Divers at Oban for gas fills etc.

Pity the timing was out of phase for me as I was in Oban yesterday.

so will there be time for a visit and writeup of tobermory distillery? even better if a warehouse tasting is involved

if only if only… I live in Scotland though so if you’d like to find my Scottish whisky trail through next season I’ll gladly put up a trip report… maybe… depends how coherent I am…

Thanks, I think my buddy in Oban has his own compressor though!
surely you want to return?
