Sea shepherd, could you chime in:
tobermory: divers den won’t let you do deep dives (over 80 ft) of you don’t have at least 10 x cold water dives, but also don’t do any deep cold water dive training, so you cou,d schlep all the way up there for a max 2 x dives a day?
‘May be different now, but last time I checked because I needed to do cold water training for gods pocket the chap on the phone said ‘ nah, if you don’t have 10 logged cold deep dives you can’t do walkon dives’ I asked ‘ but thats why I want to dive with you..I have over 2000 dives and I need to get the cold water and deep cold water experience, I’m not keen on driving 5+ hours for max 2 shallow dives.. i heard you were the guys to do it with, how do people get the exp so they can practice with you?’ Guy said ‘ I dunno, some quarry somewhere probably, but we can’t help you’ ..
