Roadside shore entry on Loch Long with a short walk to the water, a boulder-slope profile, and strong temperate marine life.
About Conger Alley
Conger Alley is a sheltered shore dive on Loch Long with a short roadside walk-in, a boulder-slope profile, and a lot of temperate marine life. It works well as a practical training site when buoyancy is under control, but the silty bottom means the cleaner line is the better line. Conger eels tucked under the rocks are the headline species.

Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight to avoid silt-outs, use a torch to pick through the cracks, and stay aware of offshore nets or creels in the loch.
Access Restrictions
Use the lay-by or other legal roadside parking, and cross the A83 only with care because the road is fast and the entry point is a short walk away.
Legal Notes
Do not block the A83 or park in unsafe verge spots; follow local access and shoreline rules.
Local Intel For Conger Alley
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A straightforward shore dive with a boulder slope, shallow reef life near the entry, and deeper rockier sections where the conger eels tend to hold.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target because the water is cold, the bottom silts easily, and the site is best enjoyed with careful scuba planning.
Snorkeling
The shallow edge can be snorkeled in calm water, but the site is mainly a scuba dive and the deeper structure is not snorkel-focused.
