A return to the Gaelic Rose in August 2025. Only two dives made it into the log, to 23 m.

The highlight was out of the water, off Mull: white-tailed eagles, Britain’s largest bird of prey, wheeling over the boat, perched on the rocks along the shore, and swooping down to snatch fish from the surface.
