Splash Sports (Hamilton)

Splash Sports' shops in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Hamilton offer sub aqua equipment and a variety of PADI courses. These start from beginner's level, where you learn to dive in a swimming pool with an instructor, up to the master course, where you learn to be a pro. The shop also organises trips around Scotland and offers equipment hire. Its four-week open water diver course costs £325 and includes a weekend at sea. Glasgow sessions take place at Allander Sports Centre, Milngavie, on Monday nights while Edinburgh sessions are held on Thursday nights at Queen Margaret College.
