In October the water is starting to cool down again and the landscape around starts to pop with all colours of browns and oranges. With the bulk of the holiday season over, the islands become much quieter so there is more chance of seeing wildlife.  Days are shorter, sunsets earlier, sunrises later. Dark skies provide a magical backdrop for outdoor swimmers so we enjoy moonlit dips, wood-fired hot tubs and cosy log-burning fires. Dips and short swims up to 45 minutesAbility to tread waterThermal swim suit, shorty wetsuit, neoprene booties and gloves recommended

In Spring the islands come alive! The puffins arrive on the Treshnish Isles, a special protection area for the conservation of wild birds, returning at this time of year for the breeding season. The islands are waking up from the winter so there is a real energy in the air as the first of the warm sunshine arrives!  We will likely hear the first sounds of the cuckoo and the corncrake and see the bluebells start to bloom. 

May is a special time of year to come to Mull. Spring has definitely sprung, the air temperature is warming up and while the sea temp is also warming up it is still a fresh 10 degrees which makes for longer invigorating dips. Getting changed on the beach becomes a little easier as there is less chance of getting really cold especially when the sun is on your face!Dips between 20 and 30 minutesAbility to tread waterNeoprene booties and gloves highly recommended
