Travel directions:  Over the Skye Bridge from Kyle of Lochalsh onto A87. Take the A863 signposted for Carbost and Talisker. Continue following the signs onto B8009 until reaching the distillery. On the loch side of the road is a small parking area with drivable track heading to an old pier in the distance. A hundred metres down the track is an old slip

Parking directions: The track is little used and plenty wide enough to park near the top of the small slip – obviously not blocking

Distance from Glasgow:   195 miles

Lat & Long:   57° 18? 9.38? N, 6° 21? 14.46? W 57.302607, -6.354016

Site entry/exit:  Down the slip. I exited up the same slip but there is exit areas of shell and weed shore line if heading north west. No easy exits if heading south east

Underwater directions: Head out on a north easterly bearing and them aim either north west or south east or go round in a circle entirely your choice. Very much a silty mud slope with odd patches of reef and rock. Max depth I found was 15m. Viz 8-10m.

Site Hazards: 2 small boats moored in the area and the far pier heavily used by fisherman

Suggested experience: Sport diver – not really a novice dive due to amount of silt and mud that can be disturbed
