Sound of Mull
September 6, 2024 – September 9, 2024
The first thing that hits, is the great visibility that will greet you when you enter the water. Well, that and the slightly cooler water temperatures.
Nonetheless, the diversity and abundance of marine life together with historical shipwrecks does escalate the Sound of Mull as one of the top UK scuba diving destinations. Interesting in that most of the wrecks here are sunk due to inclement and stormy weather.
The Gaelic Rose is owned by Bob Jones. She is a wooden fishing vessel converted for diving charters and cruising around the West Coat of Scotland. The boat is 60 ft long, accommodates 10 persons comfortably and is capable of speeds up to 8 knots.
She was originally built at the MacDuff Boatyard in Inverness-shire in 1960 and spent her early life seine netting off the East Coast of Scotland.
