St Kilda: The Holy Grail of UK Diving
Dives #72-81
St
Kilda is an extremely isolated archipelago located 40 miles West of
Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the North Atlantic Ocean. Its dramatic
topography of plunging cliffs and high sea stacs, abundance of wildlife
(it is home to the world's largest colony of Northern Gannets) and
incredibly tragic human history combine to create a place of almost
mythical status.
