Site entry/exit:  Dive 1: The car park and picnic site have a path down to the glaciated rocks on the point. The entry is the small pebble beach to the right (North) of this (entry bay). Dive two: from the entry bay a pebble spit runs out 100 yards north, at low water this is exposed. Walk to the end of this 

Underwater directions:  Dive 1: Head straight out over a 3m shelf and down slope to 6m brings you to a steep edge of a mud slope covered in multi-coloured brittle stars.  This continues down to at least 25m where the angle appears to shallow (though the loch is much deeper). Scallops (few), queenies, anemonies and usual burrowing worms.  Dogfish reported.  A gentle drift  when lower down the slope took us southwards.  A few large dragonettes. Coming back up the slope we encountered an overhanging wall at 8m , covered in life (and mono-filament line and hooks) which we followed to the end of the dive surfacing at the point.  Shoal of saith on the kelp here as well as leopard gobis. Others reported following this reef further and surfaced in the middle of the bay to the south.  

Dive two: fin straight out to find a reef between 5-15m and boulder slope.  Return to entry bay.  Best done at low water to avoid long snorkel.
