Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch your footing on the shore rocks, keep a torch with a backup, and plan the exit before you commit to the deeper side of the site.
Access Restrictions
Use the shore path and barrier carefully, and plan for parking, slippy rocks, and a proper exit route.
Legal Notes
Follow local shore-access and parking rules and keep the dive conservative in Loch Long conditions.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for experienced shore divers with a drysuit, torch, and solid buoyancy control.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive target; the depth and cold-water shore conditions suit scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main use case because the interesting reef starts deeper down the slope.
