Wreckspeditions talk – Exploring the wrecks in the Clyde – Tuesday, 18 March 7:45 pm
Phil Jones, Canoeing Convener has organised another fascinating talk. This talk will be given by Jason and Claire of Wreckspeditions in Dunoon. Jason and Claire provide scuba diving and power boats tours. They will talk about the wrecks on the Clyde over the years. The talk will include the history behind the sinkings and of the Clyde in General.
Jason is a Yachtmaster Coastal Skipper and RYA Powerboat Instructor. He is also a BSAC Dive Leader and Open Water Instructor. His experience skippering boats goes back a long way and started when he was working on the fish farms in the Scottish Highlands. He has also worked in the North Sea as a Fast Rescue Coxswain and on the Thames Clippers in London as a High Speed Craft Officer.
He is a passionate diver and loves finding shipwreck sites that are rarely dived. At Wreckspeditions he is keen to explore new areas and offer new and exciting sites to their divers.
Claire is a BSAC Advanced Diver and Advanced Instructor. She has plenty of experience in organising diving expeditions to the most remote of places, including up the top of mountains, rivers and quarries yet she always manages to find air fills and alcohol wherever she goes! Claire’s enthusiasm for expedition planning shines through and will certainly help to make your trip very memorable!
Their power boat is named ‘The Starfish Enterprise’. It is a Redbay Stormforce 7.4m RHIB catering for up to 10 persons on board or up to 8 divers. She is fully coded to meet the MCA requirements for category 3 Restricted (up to 20nm from a safe haven in favourable conditions in daylight, and up to 5nm at night).
