Winter on Scotlands West Coast with Wreckspeditions
On the west coast of Scotland there is absolutely no reason to stop diving when it comes to winter time . The massively complex coastline allows for shelter in almost every wind direction , offering diving on reefs , walls and wrecks wherever you go .
Where as a lot of charters are restricted in the direction they can run , we are blessed to have many options meaning we can run all year round . There is also the added benefit that if we are in fact blown out , that we can point divers in the direction of over 100 shore dives within an hours drive of us , so that you don ’ t have to miss out , but there is always the option of a cosy warm pub too !
In our wee piece of paradise on the Clyde , the water temperature doesn ’ t tend to dip below 9 degrees Celsius even when it comes to the coldest months of February and March , and often holds a decent 10-11 degrees to the tail end of the year . This is a few degrees warmer on average than areas like the north sea , and certainly warmer than your fresh water quarries ….. plus you get to keep diving in the SEA all winter !
The winters in these parts also tend to be quite dry and calm with brings good diving conditions and often clean clear waters . We are often only 10-20 mins from the majority of sites on the Clyde which include over 25 wrecks and loads of scenic options . This mean that it is easily manageable to speed out on our fast and sturdy rhib , the Starfish Enterprise without hours of travel in chilly conditions .
It also gives the divers a perfect opportunity to show off their array of funky dive hats , and some more funky than others !
To help with the cold , we also offer divers hot drinks and home baking after their dive , to take a bit of the edge of . We then have a lovely warm café to head to at the marina between dives too , what more could you want ?
