If you’re interested in any of these, then please let us know (trips@s895383513.websitehome.co.uk). Also, please feel free to suggest your own – all we need are the proposed dates, location, format (shore, boat or both) and minimum diver grade. Some other possible ideas are:
- Isle of Skye – RobM has outline plans for a charter boat and accommodation
- Someone has mentioned Gibraltar…
- Someone has mentioned Crete…
- Someone has mentioned Portugal (Ocean Revival)…
Cheers!
