I am sure we can get them to run some of the dives as Advanced course dives so people actually gain as well as theres no class room work involved

yep.. I believe I need to do some specialist dives to contribute to my advanced diver qual?

so a wreck dive would be great...

and a night dive? and a deep dive? is that right Mike?

Hope your going to wear more than that when you go in Scapa.
Even the Fish wear wetsuits up there!
You wanna see how much gear we have to wear just to FLY over it!

Rads sorry mate but it will be a no go for you un less you sort your certs out,

Dave spot on mate, 4 specialist dives, being night, navigation, s+r, deep/staged deep

Would be in thick wetsuits or dry suits for Scapa but not limited to just there
