Ah perhaps I can offer some hints......

the boat was hard and lumpy.... the water was too

tip of the day - "its better if you dive in the wet stuff Foggy"

Quote of the day.... "wanta cup of tea Foggy?" ........"well he didn't ask for a cup as well"

The salty stuff had ....things in it, sort of to look at

The hotel restaurant had run out of whatever you want

The Waitress was from Poland NOT Sweden

The digs were absolutely unbelieveable

There's still snow in Scotland - especially on the hills like that one called Ben Nevis.

Cheers, Paul

sorry but dont do trip reports too much like hard work leave it to some one who can type punctuate etc

but the diving was ok 5-8m vis. bit lumpy sea at times force5-6 winds but the skipper david looked after us well and got us to sutable dive sites the j of o2 turned up on the boat so nitrox was sorted
the accomodation was 5 star even had a double ensuite to my self
only problem was after 4 pints of stella while reversing my car in the dark it fell in to a ditch at the side of the road had to get mark in his 4x4 to tow it out next morning

highly recomend arisaig unless you only like wrecks as port napier is the nearest 2.5 hrs away

john

ps water temp about 7 degres c

also had a pod of large dolphins swimming with the boat
