About Us
Based in the Lochaline (Sound of Mull), midway between Oban and Tobermory.
The Sound of Mull and the Western Isles of Scotland have possibly the most enjoyable dive sites in Britain. They certainly have the remotest of wrecks and the scenery is second to none. The Brendan and Peregrine are ideally suited for use as a dive charter boats.
The Brendan and Peregrine have :
- A large comfortable heated main cabin with soft seating for all. The cabin has a colour TV, compact disc player, radio and tape recorder for your enjoyment on longer trips. The Peregrine has a video recorder.
- A forward cabin with enclosed toilet and cooker. Extra soft seating is available in this cabin which comfortably sleeps two people. Endless cups of tea, coffee and biscuits are supplied at no extra charge.
- The cockpits have all the latest nav.aids including GPS, chart plotter, radar, colour sounder and VHF. They also have a telephone and public announcement system.
The
skippers of these boats are local men with many years experience of the
Sound of Mull and adjacent waters.
The boats are moored in Lochaline which is one of the most popular dive locations in Scotland. If you require Nitrox your empty tanks will be picked up and taken to the Lochaline Dive Centre. Spares and other accessories are also available from the dive centre, which also provides accommodation for up to thirty-two divers. Both boats have a compressor which will fill two bottles in 10 minutes.
We realise that the enjoyment of a diving trip is dependent on many factors, not least the efforts of the skipper. When you come aboard our boats you can be assured that no effort will be spared ensuring that not only your dive, but your trip is most enjoyable.
A
comprehensive toolkit, a first aid box and oxygen are carried on board.
We would be able to pick up parties from Lochaline, Oban or Tobermory.
Excellent accommodation can be arranged at bargain rates.
The range of The Brendan and Peregrine enables divers to reach wrecks not only in the Sound of Mull, but Coll, Tiree and the Inner Hebrides. The rarely dived wrecks near Skerryvore Lighthouse and McKenzie Rock (The Labrador) are within range. There are also excellent dives in such isolated spots as Bo Fascadale and Heisker Lighthouse. The scenic dives in the Inner Hebrides are as good as, if not better than anywhere in Britain with average visibility in excess of 15m.
The Peregrine with its compressor is ideally suited to dive out of remote places like the North of Skye, Outer Hebrides etc. where the divers can stay in holiday accommodation near the dive site at these locations. This has become increasingly popular for divers who enjoy the comfort of "home" and experience diving at sites which are rarelly if ever dived.
