Scuba Diving

Exploring The Depths Of The Clyde

With over 20 shipwrecks within a half hour steam, glorious sheltered sea loch sites, islands with rocky reefs and sheer wall faces, and a thriving marine life....it's no wonder why we decided to base ourselves on the Firth of Clyde.

From our base in the Holy Loch, Dunoon we are able to offer diving all year round due the sheltered waters that surround us, and we are also able to provide pickups from various locations throughout the Clyde. As of 2020 we have an air and nitrox filling facility on site along with cylinder and weight hire.

Dive sites in the Clyde range from 5-50m+ so there is something here for all abilities, from trainees to tech divers.

We also run amazing expedition trips to some incredible remote locations around Scotlands' South West corner.
