13 Apr 1982 Ballista Sound of Mull Mull Scotland Wreck site 9 15 15 Iain Hosking, Eric Franz Three stars Quick, abortive search for the 'Dartmouth' then on to dive the 'Ballista' (which was showing above water). Right round outside - in through gap in hull, up to bows, inside bridge and engine room (diesel engines). Every man's idea of what a modern wreck should look like. Good fun.

12 Oct 1985 Ballista Sound of Mull Mull Scotland Wreck site 9 30 30 Iain Hosking, Kenny Jack Three stars Very relaxing and comprehensive tour of the 'Ballista' and the 'River Tay' underneath. Large sea scorpion and plenty of things that scuttle. A lot more interesting than I remember it. own
