As a fairly new diver in the Edinburgh area, I can definitely agree with the comments in favour of this area ;-)
While I haven't been too active on the list (my coding skills are far too feeble), I'd be happy to sort out a trip out of Eyemouth. As yet, I haven't had the time to make any of my club trips out there, but can certainly get plenty of details of guides, boats etc.
