Oban
United Kingdom · North Atlantic
Oban is Scotland's diving capital, a sheltered harbour town on the west coast that serves as gateway to some of the richest cold-water diving in Europe. Grey seal colonies, dense kelp forests, pollack shoals, and multiple historic wrecks make this a year-round destination for those willing to brave the chilly temperatures.
