St Kilda Bound (11th April 2011)

Scottish diver · 01 March 2011, 20:07

Second week in April we will be heading out to St kilda (weather permitting) for a few days of cruising and diving. Anybody else fancy coming out?

Somewhere I've always fancied, three diving trips booked there over the last few years, three cancelled due to weather

I don't think I'd make it in a 4m RIB but it'd probably be interesting trying

Planning on doing this later in the year, would love to hear how you get on.

Yes you would if you choose your day carefully. I've done there and back in a sib in a day with plenty of on shore time.

JW but you are mental! What we little boats really need is someone with a big cabin rib to "escort" us all there!

I did have to re-read that about the SIB! Wow!

Doing it with an escort sounds good.

things are starting to be firmed up for the second week in April. Using leverburgh as a base we will (weather dependant) attempt the crossing at some point during that week. We currently have four divers and a skipper aboard........and we would welcome "escorting" anyone else out.....

Best of luck with the trip!
