I've just had a crazy idea...
Given people on here are from all over the place... why not give your favourite 'local' dive sites..and we might...might.. fins somewhere new to dive!!!
so mine would be...
1: Conger Alley - Loch Long. (no huge surprise there then!!)
2: Kenmore Point - Loch Fyne
3: The Caves (at night) - Loch Long
from an interest point of view... my fave sites ever are...
1: Shark + Yolanda Reef - Sinai
2: SS Thistlegorm - Gulf of Suez
3: Conger A..haha just kidding... F2 + YC21 - Scapa Flow
So What's yours????

cheeky_diver's favorite local sites would have to be....mmm
1 Lephinmore (Anchor Bay)
2 Kenmore point (love the wreckage down there!)
3 Falls of Lora (so fast, so very fast!)
Yet to find my favorite worldwide sites, as my world diving tour has yet to begin (six weeks to go!)
Fav local sites (i.e. Sunday and mid-week dives):
1. Stallion Rock
2. Kenmore Point
3. Gotta say Conger / Caves because of the Thursday night thing, which is a real quality of life thing I don't take for granted (having lived in England ;) ).
Favourite World Sites:
1. Like Bubble Maker, I loved those dives at Shark Reef (but i've never been to the southern red sea, so I guess more to come there).
2. Hispania and the Sound of Mull generally (i just love that place so much).
3. Scapa Floe (especially the battle cruisers, like hte Brummer).
Hmmm.....
Maybe a tricky one!
'Local sites'
1. Anchor Point
2. Kenmore Point (hmmm.... am i detecting an obsession with points???)
3. Conger at Night.
Less Local Sites
1. All of Scapa Flow and area outside of the Flow (killed a few birds with one stone there!
2. The Zenobia (Cyprus)
3. Tobago
That should do for now! Nothing from the Clyde in there - maybe i should dive it more!

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ....
as an aside... tis an octupus ... not a squid... therefor it ain't calamari!!!!
but, i couldn't find it... even with 10 meters bloody vis, i couldn't find its wee hidey hole... in fairness however, it's only about 3 inches wide!!!

Get me Oly, a frying pan, some olive oil, and a little salt and garlic, and maybe some fresh lemon juice ... and I'll show you calamari. :D
