Overview

Let’s be honest. We’ve all fancied ourselves a hero at one point or another. A monster hunter in a made-up fancy in our heads. The main character of our favourite show. Something dramatic and fantastic.

Well, now’s your chance.

We know ‘go to Loch Ness in Scotland and spot Nessie’ is on many peoples’ bucket lists... and we understand why. It’s not just the Loch Ness monster that intrigues us, it’s the black waters of her home and all the other mysteries that lie beneath. Did you know only a handful of people have permission to dive in Loch Ness? Ever wonder why?

Maybe you’ll find out on this adventure.
