Dive Report: Dolphins if your lucky, Seals, Lobsters & Crabs in the rock cracks. Wrasse a plenty. Hard pebble stone bottom as beach. Some sand before the tide corner. All in all a nice wee splash. I have dived this solo many times in the summer months. Early morning is my favorite time followed by a can of cold lager......... Get there before the crowds.
