Hello guys,
Not been around here for awhile, bit about me, I'm an Instructor and Tec Diver that has had about a year out from diving completely, during which I have moved to Aberdeen in Scotland.
My friend has recently asked me to teach him to dive, which I have agreed to do. I will be teaching him as locally as possible, using the local dive centre for pool sessions etc, only issue is, I have not done the most diving off the coast of the UK (little bits here and there over the years) and everytime it has been fairly challenging (tidal movement, currents etc)
I am wondering if anyone can chip in and just confirm that boat diving off and around the coast of Scotland can be suitable for OW students, certainly the dives I've been on have not been, but did I just get bad luck or go to particularly bad sites.
Any input greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Anyone know of any good quarries around Scotland?
Jim
