Location Loch Creran Site Name Tubeworms (map) Max Depth 15
Suitable for Training: Yes
Site Flat rocky slope Notes After passing underneath the bridge, from the second layby to the fourth layby, there are potential divesites- all are fairly shallow. The main dive here begins at a rock that breaks the surface. Follow this rock, keeping it on your left, down to 15 metres. The reef has begun to curve North at the bottom - turn round and zig zag back up the flat slope. The highlight of the dive is a boulder reef of the tubeworm Serpum Vermiscula, that only occurs in reefs here in Loch Creran. There is a second reef dive also, heading out from the shore at a 2 o'clock angle, as per the piccie below.
Site Specific Risks Slippy stairs to the shoreline.
