Nice sunny day down in Ainster. First I’ve been able to get down after my hip replacement to check over Mako. The damage on the port side looks like it will polish out, probably a rubbing strake from another boat been alongside so fingers crossed. She will go up to Arbroath in a couple of weeks time to get lifted out and bottom maintenance done then be ready to get back to work again once she is back in Anstruther.

If you’re going to tie up next to another boat please have the decency to use proper fenders. Big black score marks down...

Interesting email received the other day. We have been restricted by NNG accessing the k-Boats for years (although they have no right to do so!) but looks like there is an easing from NNG on access policy they have in place. If you are a diver and around Crail next week be worth dropping in to listen to what they have to say.

Hello all

In the coming weeks, specific restrictions for sea users around using the area in the vicinity of our NnG offshore wind farm in the Firth of Forth will be lifted.

To ensure that we can continue to operate the wind farm safely and to ensure the safety of all sea users, we are creating guidance for communicating with our team for those who wish to use the area.

The protocols, which are currently being finalised, seek to work practically for the wind farm’s teams as well as for sea users.

In order to engage with sea users – for example divers and fishers who intend to use the area – we are holding two drop-in sessions to feed into this guidance.

These will take place from 1pm to 3pm on Wednesday 26 August at Eyemouth Golf Club and Thursday 27 August at Crail community hall.

You are invited to drop in to these sessions to speak to the teams specifically about the guidance, provide any feedback and ask questions.

Please forward this email / invitation on to any Divers or sea users that may be interested in using the site once reopened.

If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Many thanks

Hi Folks - I’m having to suspend taking any bookings for the next couple of months for personal reasons. Will let you know when we resume taking charter bookings.
Thanks for your understanding and support.

Well it’s been an interesting few days wreck diving. Exmouth, Halland, Avondale Park, Asta done between weather windows. Some great conditions and some not so great, but everyone enjoyed the trip.

Pricing Update

Due to rising fuel costs, I’ve had to introduce a modest increase to trip prices — the first adjustment in over five years. These rates remain extremely competitive, and the change is essential to keep the business sustainable while continuing to offer safe, high‑quality diving.

Thanks for your understanding and continued support.
