Overnight Trips 2025
The Firth of Clyde with Wreckspeditions
When you think of the Clyde, you think shipbuilding, a vast history of manufacture. Well this trip lends to this, with a focus on searching for the fabled wrecks within the Firth of Clyde. With over 20 shipwrecks, multiple walls, thriving rocky reefs and an abundance of marine life, this trip has it all. For a 2025 first, we are taking this to the next level.
We will arrive at Dunoon on Friday morning, we will set up at Wreckspeditions base in Holy Loch. With 2 dives per day, the boat will zoom you to a variety of dive sites over the weekend. Accommodation will be at the wonderful Argyll Hotel in Dunoon on a twin bed room basis with 2 divers to a room. The hotel is right in the middle of all the action with restaurants and bars within minutes of the hotel. To cater to all divers, food has not been included within the package, but there are plenty of options in close proximity.

Sound of Mull liveaboard
This is a Sound of Mull trip with a difference! We’ve chartered the MV Honeydew for 4 days of diving, departing from Dunstaffnage. This will give us the chance to cover our usual Sound of Mull favourites but also use Tobermory as a base for getting out of the Sound and beyond. Possibilities include Bo Fascadale, the Small Isles and more.
We’ll board at Dunstaffnage Marina on Thursday 16th October and get settled into our new home. Our 4 days of diving starts on Friday 17th October, taking us through to Monday 20th October, with possible overnight stops in Lochaline, Tobermory and Coll. We’ll arrive back to Dunstaffnage on Monday 20th October in the afternoon, so you can either choose to depart then or stay one more night onboard and leave after breakfast on Tuesday 21st October.
Accommodation is in twin berth rooms on board, and the trip is on a full board basis – expect to be well fed!
Check out Sham’s report from our trip last year.
To keep costs down, this trip will not be led by a member of the Dive Team, so there won’t be the possibility of taking a course or guided/supervised diving on the trip. It is important that all divers can navigate a dive and deploy a dSMB unaided, if this isnt you yet, get in touch and we can support with a course before hand.
Included: accommodation, full board, air
Excluded: mixed gases, kit hired directly from the boat (oxygen clean cylinders for example)
