A lady once said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get…”

Whats the connection between that and Oban 2006? Well, apart from the trip being organised by our very own Forrest, exactly that - when it comes to the diving, you just don’t know what you’re going to get… 

Most arrived at Oban late on Thursday night, what with some not setting off till after work, and others delayed waiting for comrades to arrive following a closure on the M6. Latest were Andy & Nigel getting in after midnight. Still a few beers in the Oban Inn, somewhat a tradition, and everyone was setup for a good nights sleep. Friday morning saw us heading off to Puffin Diver centre for the pickup by MV Diving Belle. The boat was loaded up nice and slick with only some minor moaning about the weight of the twinsets, and before long we were on our way to the Breda for Dive #1.
