Tides: Tide tables
Site entry/exit: Main entry is down slip from the car park and a short swim out the channel. Other entry is from the steps or giant stride off harbour pier – to be recommended at high tide only!
Underwater directions: This is an easy shallow dive usually with quite a lot of life around. Exit the channel from the slipway and basically keep the rocks on your right side all the way around. There are a number of blind alleys so there is a chance of being disoriented. Max depth is between 6-8m. At the harbour wall toward the end of the dive you’ll find a large square opening that you can swim through which takes you right through and into the yacht mooring area.
Air & Nitrox fills: Dive Bunker, Burntisland. Splash Sports, Dundee
Site Hazards: Best done at slack water before the tide turns. If you catch it late beware, the tide races out of the harbour basin and it’s a real hard fin back in. Alternatively, start at the harbour pier and keep rocks on left side, exit on slipway.
