9 Jul 1985 | An Dubh-sgeir | Sango Bay | North-west Scotland | Scotland | 18 | 15 | 15 | Iain Hosking, Adrian Roddam | Launched at Rispond (wettest, windiest campsite in the world). Dived into a narrow crevice between two rock formations which became a tunnel. Nearly collided with a seal in the tunnel. Came up on the other side of the island and swam back over a lurking seal on the way. Another one stayed just ahead of us all the way. Turned right and followed the gullies and underwater arches. Good vis. Fantastic dive. | own | |||

9 Jul 1985 | An Dubh-sgeir | Sango Bay | North-west Scotland | Scotland | 20 | 19 | 19 | Iain Hosking, Adrian Roddam | 15 minute interval from previous dive (Adrian had to pee). Followed the island round clockwise to shallow inlet and followed a crevice into a 30m long dead-end tunnel. Turned round to find we'd been followed in by a seal. Swam back towards the other tunnel over strange rock formations and cornered another seal in a cave. Finished the day by coming face to face with a seal pup in a rock pool, lifting a Seagull outboard and finding two cannon. | own |
