Farne Islands

A seal peers out from some kelpDiving in the Farne Islands is an assault on the senses with a variety of wreck and scenic dives on offer. It boasts one of the largest grey seal colonies in England – if you are looking for encounters with seals this is it. Be warned though – the seal pups come out to play in late September and October. They are very inquisitive and often come in to take a close look and even nibble on your fins!

Clyde

Blue RIB Starfish Enterprise tied up at a marinaAfter a great first outing last year, we return to the Firth of Clyde with Wreckspeditions on their boat the “Starfish Enterprise”. Wreckspeditions are based in the beautiful town of Dunoon on the Cowal Peninsula, the doorway to Argyll.

There are more than 20 shipwrecks within a half hour steam, as well as glorious sheltered sea loch sites, islands with rocky reefs and sheer wall faces, and thriving marine life. Dive sites in the Clyde range from 5-50m+ so there is something here for all abilities, from trainees to tech divers.

New for this year! We’ve secured a couple of weekends on Mako II out of Anstruther. Mako II is a brand new boat launched last summer, replacing the previous Mako.

It’s fantastic to add another local day trip to our calendar. Anstruther is an ideal place to explore the wrecks and cliffs of the Isle of May, as well as plenty of other local sites. And there is the famous Anstruther Fish Bar on the harbourfront.
