Well, my original plan of doing my full Open Water up at Oban has been scuppered by a gf who doesn't fancy it at all but does fancy some slightly more tropical diving. As a result, it looks like we'll be heading to the Red Sea later in the year and that's where it will be done.

That said, I don't fancy wasting the first few days in the pool/classroom so am keen to do a referral course so I can get the boring bits out of the way in sunny Scotland, and take full advantage of Egyptian sea conditions.

With that in mind, can anyone recommend a dive school in Glasgow for doing this at?

Thanks!

I know! Whooda thunk that diving in freezing, murky, black water isn't appealing to a foreigner from a sunny country? They're all soft wink

It might be chilly but are you sure the water off the west coast of Scotland is murky and black?????

Well, it can be; I grew up near Oban so have seen it all ways really. But the truth is fairly irrelevant when it comes to a gf who isn't mad keen on the idea anyway, being convinced by her boyfriend!

Besides, I can guarantee it's cold and whilst it doesn't bother me, it kills it for her.
