The Tobermory Princess Hotel is one of the oldest buildings in the town
of Tobermory. Built around the turn of the century it operated as the
Matheson House Hotel. After various owners it was bought by Joe George
and operated as the George’n, an exclusive club to select Scuba Divers.
In 1992, under the new ownership of the Kritikos Family, this Tobermory
landmark was completely renovated to combine tradition with modern
facilities. In order to preserve the architectural heritage of the building, the
exterior has been restored to its original appearance.

Not sure how often you should have your tank pumped out? Want to know what to expect when having your tank emptied? We’ve got the answers you need to these questions and more.
