Ballista Dives
I've dived the "Ballista" 2 times:

13 Apr 1982 | Ballista | Sound of Mull | Mull | Scotland | 9 | 15 | 15 | Iain Hosking, Eric Franz | 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 | 9 | 30 | 30 | Iain Hosking, Kenny Jack | 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 |
