Overnight Trips 2025

The Firth of Clyde with Wreckspeditions

PS Iona 2024 – Dive with a Purpose

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.

This is a Sound of Mull trip with a difference! We’ve chartered the MV Honeydew for 6 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 October and get settled into our new home. Our 6 days of diving starts on TBC, taking us through to TBC, with possible overnight stops in Lochaline, Tobermory and Coll. We’ll arrive back to Dunstaffnage on TBC afternoon, so you can either choose to depart then or stay one more night onboard and leave after breakfast on TBC.

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.

Included: accommodation, full board, air
Excluded: mixed gases, kit hired directly from the boat (oxygen clean cylinders for example)
