Underwater directions: .Dive the north side of the Buchaness Island, past a broken up wreck and through a gully that ends up in an underwater arch. As with most of the sites on the east coast, the area can be quite silty but it is very nice in clear conditions. The south side of the island is deeper (you can get over 25 m on the southeast side) but, as a shore dive, it involves a longish walk in full kit, a serious climb from the path to the shore, an impressive jump entry and a final approach to the exit point over a fair distance of kelpy shallow water (avoid low tide).
