ABOUT
US |

| We have lived on the
Isle of Barra since 2002 where we work as diver fishermen,
we decided to turn our hobby of 2 years into a business, and Barra
Power Kiting was born. |

Kay learnt to dive whilst on the Falkland Islands and
started accompanying me on shellfish dives part time in 2001 and then
full time in 2002. Kay is also an accomplished skier and canoeist.
Whilst in her last job at Loch Insh Watersports Centre near
Aviemore she was employed as an Administrator and part time
Instructor. For the past 4 years she has worked along side me as an
integral part of a two person creel fishing and shellfish diving team. |
