Dive Report:  Angela Robson 18/8/11  We jumped in and surface swam to the end of the gulley before descending down. The vis was amazing! I have had good days at Rosehearty before, but this was different, it was probably about 15+metres. It was dusk, so the there was low light. You couldn't move for life. There were common lobsters, squat lobsters, partens, velvet swimmers, spider crabs, nudibranchs (the tiny ones), shoals of Saithe, a rather large cod, Ling, an enormous Tadpole fish, scorpian fish,
