In July on an unofficial club trip three O2Dive members were lucky to dive Shetland onboard the converted fishing trawler Valkyrie. It was a long haul to get to Lerwick the main town on Shetland. However it was worth the while. As we were coming in to Shetland we discovered that the Tall Ship races were in Lerwick sitting out some very bad weather, giving us a chance to have a look around the 20 or so bigger sail ships that were alongside the quay. As Shetland sits a bit further north the weather plays a part in where we can go diving, but due to its nature there will always be somewhere in lee to dive.
