5 star |
| POSITION : |
3 miles North West of MacLeods Maidens |
| EXPERIENCE: |
Competent, site requires care with slack tide and swell |
| DIVE DEPTH : |
19-22m |
| CONDITIONS : |
Slack tides combined with westerly winds and swell can make this dive unmanagable. |
| SEA BED : |
Consists of black rock with a scattering of white shell sand and a sharply rising rock face. |
| TIDES : |
The tides run strongly along this site, and slack tide is almost essential. Experienced divers could dive shortly after slack on the flood. |

Swell, tide and wind must be closely watched |
| COMMENTS : |
Described by many as awesome and said to rival the Red Sea diving easily this is an excellent photographic dive site with visibility in excess of 15 metres. A vertical black rock face plummets to the sea bed in an amazing technicolour of encrusting soft colour and anemones of all shapes and size. A crevice at the base of the cliff, described as a 'conveyor belt of marine life' is crammed full. |
