With almost 40 years of experience in subsea trials and training, The Underwater Centre provides the ultimate location, equipment, experience and facilities to meet your trials and training needs.

Loch Linnhe is one of Scotland’s deepest sea lochs, with water depths of 20m just off our private pier, and down to 100m about a mile and a half along the loch. Our private pier provides unrestricted access to the sea loch, and the surrounding mountains provide adequate shelter to allow trials and training to take place almost all year round.
