First dive Last dive 		2 Jan 1986 Calve Island Cliffs NE corner of Calve Island Mull Scotland 36 14 16 Iain Hosking, Crawford Foster Four stars First dive of '86. A beautiful day - clear and cold with wind force 3. Water quite clear but not gin clear. Down to 34m in free-fall mode and spent the time drifting along in the current, upside down half the time. Pretty cup coral, like sweets. Afterwards we had man overboard drill, a prat about and a bit of target practice. own

First dive Last dive 		11 Apr 1987 Calve Island Cliffs NE corner of Calve Island Mull Scotland 36 14 17 Iain Hosking, Phil Hume Three stars Conditions couldn't be more different from this morning. Late evening in a cloudless blue sky and almost flat calm. Took Phil down for his first dry suit dive (using my old Dunlop). Cliffs as impressive as always - covered in Devonshire cup coral, sea squirts and sponges. Curious fan-like formations (bendy, like bracket fungus) and a cushion star 5 inches across and bright orange. Dead men's fingers not too common.
