Underwater directions:   Enter the water and go straight out to 12m and turn right, the boulder reef starts here and goes down to 24m. For a short dive (30 mins) stay on the first reef. For a longer and deeper dive head past the first reef up the loch (look at U/W map) and the reef here goes down to 40m. Look under the bigger rocks and you wll probably see conger eels. Look upwards on the reefs as you get shoals of fish here. In July there are plenty different types of fish here (look at the U/W pictures).

Dive Report:   cloudflint  7/8/11  We went in the water and swam right to the reef then pottered along at around 18 meters then when we hit the end of the reef turned round and pottered back in at around 10m, no hassle! Vis was rubbish till you got to about 10 meters at which point it cleared up remarkably, we reckoned about 10 meters in most places. ALOT of squat lobsters and other small life swimming about. Also saw a massive crab (I estimate about a foot across but i wasn't about to get within grabbing distance to measure it with my knife ) And a few feet away from it what looked like a massive scorpion fish.
