The village of Tarbert has an ancient maritime history and it’s Gaelic name means ‘ to carry across’, this being a narrow place between two sea lochs, where boats could be portaged across the peninsula. It was also a seat of Robert the Bruce with an imposing castle above the town.

We met up with a number of fishermen down at the harbour including two local scallop divers, Ewan and Bob, who were just returning from a successful trip. They were able to tell us about some interesting local sites including a possible torpedo! They were also very keen to hear about our upcoming diving phase and we hope they will be able to join us.
