Allander Divers

Trips

In addition to the Events and Fund Raising regular dive trips are organised.

Almost every Sunday morning and most Thursday evenings several members of the club together with any Allander Divers SAA Students and Splashsports PADI Students head off to Loch Long, Loch Fyne or Gaer Loch. On Sundays two dives are usually seperated with a barbeque in the surface interval with Thursday nights limited to one dive. You can find details on each of the dive sites which the club frequents in the dive sites pages.

Rib dives are occasionally organised. In 2007 the club ran two rib dives, one in Loch Long and one from Tralee Bay near Oban for diving on the Breda. The Breda dive was popular with two groups of divers taking turn about to head out to the wreck.
