JUNE

Outer Hebrides Expedition aboard Wandrin' Star

Mark, Bob, Cen, Jim and JL set off for the Outer Hebrides. Their first stop was the floating castle at Castle Bay, Barra. After a decent weather window the boys made it to St Kilda and back. Cave diving was cut short however due to adverse conditions and they were forced to hole up in Tarbent.

They then travelled to Portree to refuel and get supplies, and dived the deepest wall in the UK off Raasay and Rona Inner Sound and the stunning Nordhuk. Travel was then to Kyle of Lochalsh and the boys dived JL's favoroute wreck - the Port Napier.

Mark and crew then travelled to Mallaig but were kept there by force 10 gales. Eventually making it out they arrived at the Sound of Mull and dived another spectacular wreck - the Rondo. The boys then decided to head for home, making it into the North Channel. As the weather worsened they headed for Portaferry for a few well deserved beers.

Eventually the team arrived back to Fishguard Harbour all in need of a good shave! Photo's of the expedition will follow...

"Emotionally Charged" - Martin Bruce

A great start to the year with this Smalls feature published in Sport Diver Magazine.

We took Martin out to the Smalls with both Wandrin' Star and JanHazel. The site of the Camrose was the target, but the reef life and topography eclipsed the wreckage.

Meanwhile topside we caught mackerel, observed thousands of diving gannets, seals and quite a number of dolphin...
