Not the quarries, but natural cliffs to the north. Amazing variety of sea life - fanworms, sea squirts, crustaceans of various kinds. Vis 6m at least. | own | ||

13 Jun 1982 | Easdale | Seil Island | Oban | Scotland | 22 | 30 | 30 | Iain Hosking, Eric Franz, Susan Playfair |  |
Dived cliffs again. Fantastic vis: 60-100 feet. Incredible variety of life - squat lobsters, brightly-coloured sea anemones, plumose anemones, sea squirts, feather duster worms, dead men's fingers, cup coral, sun stars, starfish, sponges, nudibranchs, dogfish, wrasse, sea urchins, hydras, jellyfish, oysters and a cowrie which I found on my tank after the dive. Tremendous scenic dive. | own | ||

Haven't dived here since 1982. Further round to the cliffs than I remember, through reasonable gullies. Like a small version of Calve Island cliffs, with Devonshire cup coral, sea squirts, sunstars, dahlia anemones and so forth. Fairly choppy - sea state 4 with white horses galore. |
