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 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

Basking shark 1

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.

Basking shark 2

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".

Basking shark 3

All of the basking shark pictures were taken by Doctor Jan Love diving from Lochaline Boat Charters vessels.
