Hi from the Hebrides
Hi all ,
Returning to diving after a 6 year layoff, I now live and work on the Outer Hebrides, so if anyone comes on holiday bring your gear. I here reading everything I can, as things seemed to have changed so much.

One of my ambitions is to dive the "polly" in the sound of Erisky, I know there is not much there , but its one of my all time favorite films and what a log book entry.

So Hello to all.

Hi Bootneck81,

Welcome aboard. Sounds like a fantastic place to dive. I've dived the other side of the Minch (Skye) which was fantastic, so you must get some faby dive sites.
So where do you get fills from? Are there dive boats, or is it DIY?

Hello and welcome. Having dived around Mull, Coll and Tyree and loved every dive, it won't be long before I'll be knocking on your door! I had a lay off too and yes things have changed a bit but this site is a good way to catch up.

Hi and thanks for the welcome.

Air fills are from the Uist outdoor centre, they have a couple of good ribs as well, also bunk accomodation. anyone wants the web address let me know.

I bought an old humber 4.5 locally, years old, but good for diving around the coast and lochs. busy fitting out with vhf and fishfinder at the moment.

Plenty of slipways or good beaches to launch from.

And a well kept secret, one of the local garages runs a commercial dive operation as well and thay have a pot wired up in a container out the back, always nice to know.

Hi Bootneck 81 (wossatt about?)

Welcome to YD. Got a mate who lives on Barra, and went over to see him after a weekend diving in Oban. Dive a few shore dives but the rain run off made vis quite hazy (brackish). However my mate works on the creels and we were never short of good food. Aaahh memories.

Did I say welcome?

Tim
