Dive Report:  PhoebeSparke 15/4/12  A splendid little dive! As we waded in over cobbles and pebbles, these gave way to a muddy bottom. We saw slender seapens at about 10m and these carried on down to 26m.Turning right we then came across boulders with lots of life – peacock worms, fluted sea squirts and copious sea loch anemones in a vast range of sizes – looked like a nursery ground. Between the rocks on the muddy bottom pink spotted sea cucumbers were quite profuse, as were shore crabs, blennies and squat lobsters. Large spiny star fish and smaller common starfish languished in the mud whilst their cousins, the common brittle stars were hidden away amidst the animal turf on the rocks. Nice flat fish, dragonet and yarrels blenny. Superb

Dive Report:  Pete gunn  Theres a Langustine bed that starts at 25m here, quite a dark dive too but viz was good when we did it. Good dive site need to go back here again soon!
