Situated in the small village of Lochaline, 44 miles west of Fort William on the West Coast of Scotland, Lochaline dive centres’ mainland position on the Sound of Mull offers a unique get-away-from-it-all location. Staying there gives us easy access to the clear waters of the Sound, which boasts some of Britain's best-known wreck dives, in addition to an abundance of drift, shallow, scenic, and shore dive sites.
The Centre also offers access to some of the most beautiful and tranquil scenery in Scotland, with an abundance of local wildlife. Wildlife trips, with an expert guide, are also available via the Centre.
New in 2009 is the Dive Centres’ charter vessel "Sound Diver", a spacious 12.5m Offshore 125 fitted out for diving with deep benches onboard, a compressor and a hydraulic diver lift at the stern.
The Centre can supply air (to 300 bar), nitrox and trimix (on request).

Hispania
This Swedish merchant vessel (644 net tonnes) sank in 1954. The wreck remains fairly intact, and although she is gradually disintegrating with time, she remains one of Scotland's finest wreck dives. The amount of marine growth over the hull during the summer months is quite exceptional.

Shuna
Wrecked in 1913 while carrying a cargo of coal, the steel steamship Shuna, built in Holland (880 net tonnes), was discovered in 1991, and lies intact and upright in 30 metres (16 metres to the deck). The wreck can be dived at all states of the tide.

Fuinary Rocks
An interesting scenic dive inside of the navigation marker amidst a series of reefs and gullies close to the shore. Plenty of life among the rocks and sandy bars, including sea lemon (photographed), and snakelocks anemone. Sea pens can be found beyond 20m depth. This shore dive is easily accessible from the car park immediately prior to the Wishing Stone on the Drimnin Road. Entry to the water is easiest at high tide.

Pennygown Quarry
Running out from the shore, the sand slopes down to 20 metres before hitting a sheer cliff face to 70 metres. Rock strata here run diagonally, forming lots of crevices for marine life.

The John Preston
The wreck of the Welsh schooner John Preston, built in 1855 in North Wales, lies on a ledge in 14-18 metres of water. This scattered wreck, and the steep wall nearby, make for an interesting dive at all states of the tide.
