Sound of Mull 2026 🤿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another year, another Clydebank SAC pilgrimage to the Sound of Mull — and this time the weather gods actually decided to play nice ☀️🌊

A few days based in Lochaline, some seriously beautiful Scottish scenery, calm seas and a very solid lineup of dives made for one cracking weekend 🤿🚤

We kicked things off at Manse Point, and it was a particularly special dive for Gordon, marking his 300th dive! 🎉🤿🍰

Saturday took us to the John Preston Wall, packed with marine life and some seriously colourful scenery, followed by the ever-photogenic SS Rondo 🐟🦞🛳️

Sunday brought a couple of classic Sound of Mull wrecks — the SS Shuna and SS Hispania. The Hispania was the real showstopper, with incredible colours, soft corals, anemones, seaweeds, hydroids and plenty of very friendly-looking Po***ck 🛳️🧡💛🐟

A huge thanks to everyone who made the trip happen — and especially Gordon for organising it all 🙏🏼😬🩼

A weekend of wrecks, reefs, scenery, sunshine and a LOT of diving 🤿💙

🎉 Huge congratulations to Harry on becoming a BSAC Sports Diver! 🤿😎

As we saw when he picked up the Tam Sneddon Trophy, Harry is one of the keenest divers in the club right now — jumping on pretty much any and every dive trip going 😂🤿

He’s also shown a real interest in helping plan trips to new and interesting locations the club hasn’t explored before, including scouting out slipways for launching RIBs and figuring out all the logistics that come with it 🗺️🚤🧭

He might not know it yet, but Harry is already well on his way to becoming a very capable, experienced and well-rounded Dive Leader 👨🏾‍🏫🤿

Some say A Frames is a bit boring… 👀⛩️

Our club’s top underwater photographers, Harry and Jill, would somewhat disagree 📸🤿😂

Here’s a little collection of their photos and videos from Sunday’s dives, showing just how much life is hiding around Scotland’s premier dive site 🌊✨

The biggest find was a big conger eel tucked away inside one of the structures 🐍👀

Alongside that, there were goby, stonefish, crabs, squat lobsters and loads more life going about their business 🐟🦀🦞

Maybe A Frames isn’t so boring after all… 😏🤿

Another extended weekend of training in the bag 🤿🎉

One Sports Diver and three Ocean Diver trainees took to the water, hitting up St Catherine’s Pier and A Frames 🌊⛩️

Both sites had a thick layer of something around the first 2–3 metres… but we pushed through that and the water underneath was crystal clear 👀✨

We got up close with some big langoustines, loads of tiny comb jellies and one jacked-up crab 🦞🪼🦀💪

A bit of litter was also collected , a few skills were practised and everyone went home with a smile 🗑️🌊👨🏾‍🏫😁

There may or may not have been a few newly qualified handshakes handed out… But you’ll just have to watch this space to find out 👀🤝🎉

While we were off diving around the Summer Isles, someone quietly managed to bag themself another wee qualification 🗾🤿✅

🎉 Big congratulations to our Club DO James on completing the BSAC Chartwork and Position Fixing SDC 🗺️🧭

Even as our Club DO and an Advanced Instructor, James is a very good example that the learning never really stops. There’s always another skill to learn, another qualification to chase, and another level to unlock if you’re willing to put in the time and effort 💪📚🤿

Sadly, the beautiful sun hat and laminated local nautical charts are not included in the course pack, but can be purchased separately 😎🗺️💸

Well done, James! We can’t wait for the next club trip to some exotic SCOTTISH location that the club has never been to before 🙃👏🎉

🎉 Huge congratulations to Sue for completing her BSAC Ocean Diver course! 🤿🌊

Sue originally joined us as the third wheel to Big Lee and Little Lee, who were already qualified divers. Clearly fed up with sitting on the sidelines, she decided to take the plunge herself 😂👏

Having finished the last of her Ocean Diver lessons, she wasted no time booking a holiday… with the most important requirement being somewhere much warmer and nicer to dive than the cold, dark Scottish sea lochs ☀️🌴🤿😂

Well done, Sue! We can’t wait to see where the diving takes you next! 🐙🌊🍾

Ever thought about trying scuba diving? 🤿🤔
Now’s the perfect time to take the plunge and experience what scuba diving is all about 💦 🌊

Another little training day in the bag 🤿🎉

A big well done to Sam for taking his first wee steps into the world of open water diving 🌊👏

And an equally big well done to Pete for managing to leave the dive site with all the gear he arrived with 😂🎒

It was a bit damp at A Frames — our favourite dive site and quite possibly all of Scotland’s favourite dive site too 🌧️⛩️

Thankfully, we were all wearing drysuits, which were mostly dry on the inside… and that’s about as much as you can ask for sometimes 😅🥶

It was also great to bump into fellow divers from Fyne Diving & Watersports and 🤝🤿

Another day of training, another day underwater, and another excuse to spend a few hours standing around a car park talking about diving afterwards 😎☕🌊
