Expedition to the Isle of Arran
Dunoon Divers is one of the youngest BSAC clubs in the UK . Branch number 2599 was formed in January 2020 just as the Covid pandemic was getting going . Despite this , the club has really gathered pace , attracting 25 members with a variety of diving skills . The aim is to revitalise interest in diving in and around the Clyde estuary for a new generation .
Where is Dunoon ?
Dunoon is a town an hour ’ s drive west of Glasgow on the Cowal Peninsula . It is surrounded by a massive stretch of coastline up and down the Firth of Clyde and adjoining sea lochs . It is an incredible coastline that we have here , full of marine life , shipwrecks and fascinating maritime history , which you would never know about unless you took up diving .
