Highlight of our time in Scotland - We were originally booked for the shipwrecked tour but due to bad weather we had to change it to a 30 minute tour around the loch but excellent communication throughout. Jason was amazing with the kids, answered all their questions, very knowledgeable, lots of fun even in the rain. We did manage to see one shipwreck, zoomed around the loch but the highlight of the trip was spotting 4 Porpoises swimming near by. Would definitely recommend.

Super Scuba Diving Weekend - What a wonderful weekend's diving. The level of service from Jason was outstanding. There was a mix of interesting scenic and wreck sites. The visibility on the Akka was an amazing 10m and it was covered in sea life. Thanks Jason for taking good care of us.

Sugar Boat special - Our group from Merchant Navy Association had a fantastic day on the powerboat trip from Inverkip to the Sugar Boat wreck last week. Jason was so informative about the local history, wrecks, submarine nets and the MV Captayannis, great to see it up close. Weather was good, porpoises made an appearance and as an added bonus, hot chocolate with marshmallows - awesome! Thanks Jason for a very interesting and enjoyable trip, see you in June!

Clyde wreck diving at it's best. - Wasn't sure what to expect but any reservations were quickly dispelled. The Wreckspedition set up and RHIB were top notch. Jason, the owner and boat handler, was very knowledgeable about all the sites and a real pleasure to listen to. Nothing was too much trouble for him to keep his customers satisfied... and the scenery was to die for. The post dive waiter service on board was an unexpected bonus and very welcome .. I personally opted for the hot chocolate ☕🍪. For anyone wanting to do some Clyde wreck diving you will find it hard to beat Wreckspeditions.. I am certainly looking to revisit.

Great weekend diving in very challenging weather - We dived with Jason on a challenging weekend, with rain closing a lot of roads in Scotland and making the Clyde brown with peaty mud. Nevertheless Jason was able to find 4 dives sites that were interesting and suitable for our group with diverse interest and level of skill. Jason is an excellent skipper and has a passion for and knowledge of the areas that is unmatched.

Great Diving - Just had three days of great diving. Jason knows where to go when the weather gets windy, we all thought we might be blown out but had 6 excellent dives, wrecks, walls, and reefs. The life on the wrecks is more varied and profuse than almost anywhere in UK. Jason really looks after everyone even if you are slow or efficient, old or young. Thanks Brian S.

Brilliant day visiting Clyde wrecks close-up - Had a brilliant day with family on Starfish Enterprise rib out of Holy Loch marina, visiting two wrecks close up, including the famous sugar boat. Great display by the pod of bottle-nosed dolphins off Cloch Point, and curious seals at the Gantocks. Very safe with captain Jason, whose knowledgeable commentary added a lot to the experience. Great fun for all ages, zipping across the firth among spectacular scenery. Highly recommended!

Best Skipper - Without a doubt Jason is the best skipper I've dived with. His organization of the boat, kitting, de-kitting and looking after us was perfect. The dive briefs were outstanding and I followed them to a tee and had 8 amazing dives. Then to top it all not only is he a fount of knowledge about the history and geography of the area but he provided us with his "Famous Hot Chocolate" and "Home Baked Cakes" after each dive. I thoroughly enjoyed every trip on the boat.
