About Us
Information
Based in the sound of Mull midway between Oban and Tobermory. The Sound of Mull and the Western Isles of Scotland have arguably the most enjoyable dive sights in Britain. They certainly have the remotest of wrecks and the scenery is second to none. Our boats the Brendan and Peregrine are ideally suited for use as dive charter boats.
Both our boats have onboard compressors and diving lifts, so no longer do you have to bring along two tanks or make the sometimes lengthy journey back to land. We pride ourselves on giving the complete diving package. We can help arrange everything from accommodation to having food prepared for a full days outing. Some of our food is now as popular as the dive itself!

Diving
To give you an idea of the main areas that Lochaline Boat Charters operate from and the type of diving expected we have listed them below.
In addition to the locations below we are happy to discuss with you other locations and diving requirements.
Lochaline
We believe that Lochaline is the best all round diving centre in the U.K. as well as being only 3 hours drive from Central Scotland it also offers the potential of year round diving in almost any weather, while other diving areas are being blown out the Sound of Mull offers refuge in all but the worst weather. Well known dive sites available from Lochaline which are included in our daily charter rates: Hispania, John Preston, Rondo, Meldon, Breda, Thesis, Shuna, Swan , Falls of Lora, The Garvellach Islands, Ardtornish Point, Pennygown Quarry, Tapti, Nevada, General Consul, Aurania, Ardmore Point, Auliston Point, Calve Island, Bo Fascadale, Danny's Buoy, Elizabeth Rock, Loch Sunart and the diving around the Isle of Muck.
Alternative
In addition to the locations below we are happy to discuss with you other locations and diving requirements.
Diving With Sharks
The increase in sightings of basking sharks in recent years has proven to be a bonus for our divers, the areas around the Small Isles and Coll and Tiree provide regular sightings with several monsters around the 9 metre mark being sighted in 2010
It is not unusual for the divers to surface from a dive in these areas and find themselves in the company of 4 or 5 feeding baskers.
Mindful of the harm that can be caused by harassing these stunning creatures we always comply strictly with the code of conduct put in place by the "Basking Shark Project".
All of the basking shark pictures were taken by Doctor Jan Love diving from Lochaline Boat Charters vessels.

We've just had a fabulous week diving in Mull with Malcolm and Lochaline Boat Charters. We dived the Rhondo, SS Hispania, the Shuna, the Pelican and the beautiful Auliston wall and saw brittlestars and flame shells at Loch Sunart. Thanks for a really great and memorable week.
ESAC
Thanks everyone for an amazing weekend! The company, the laughs, the food and drink, the music, the dancing, the singing, the costumes and of course, the diving were all amazing! To Malcolm and lochaline boats as ever, our gratitude for the best skippering on the west coast, and for putting up with all our collective insanity.
