Craig Wallace Resized

Friday 29th May Below The Surface

On Friday we will be working with Craig Wallace of Deep Sea Vision who will be sending their autonomous underwater vehicle Micro Millie to map the hidden depths of Urquhart Bay. — an area of particular interest due to its varied underwater landscape, proximity to Urquhart Castle, and reputation as a recent hotspot for reported sightings. By deploying the autonomous submarine in this location, the team aims to gather new data that will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the loch’s underwater environment

 

This is not a public event but we will be sharing our findings with you.
