Other information
Auk is one of three dive boats owned by Alasdair Hughson and Ailsa Thomson, namely, Hughson Diving. The company was formed in 2003 after Eddie Hughson tragically died and his son and his daughter decided to continue the legacy.
Alasdair and Ailsa also have an interest in a live shellfish company, Keltic Seafare (Scotland) Ltd and as such all scallops caught by the divers on our boats are sold primarily to Keltic. See www.keticseafare.com From there, Hughson Diving product is sold on across the UK to various top end restaurants and hotels.
