Diving - sub aqua

Scotland is one of the top ten diving destinations in the world due to the wreckages of the German fleet which were 'scuttled' at Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands, in 1918.

We may not have the warm waters or the tropical fish of the Southern Hemisphere but we more than make up for it with 2 million year old reefs, shipwrecks, inquisitive seals and great dive schools.

Dry suits are usually required for diving in Scotland, but the majority of dive schools hire out the gear as part of a package.

Want to get started?

Training is essential and can be arranged through the Scottish Sub Aqua club (SSAC), which offers diver training suitable for local conditions. SSAC has a number of branches across the country. Courses range from beginner to instructor level. Some SSAC branches also accept visiting divers with qualifications from other organisations.

A range of dive companies exist in Scotland, including those offering accommodation on board dive boats which can see you out at sea for up to 7 days.
