There is no general Oban or Sound of Mull marine-park dive tag. Budget instead for boat charter, fills, equipment, ferries and any UK ETA. The Loch Sunart to Sound of Jura NCMPA is a conservation designation, not a ticketed visitor park. As of September 5, 2026, Argyll and Bute's proposed visitor levy was still under consultation and was not an active accommodation charge. Wreck artifacts should remain in place; UK law requires recovered wreck material to be reported.
