Tides: Tide tables
Depth: 20m+
Site entry/exit: Short walk to water's edge over weedy rocks (slippy)
Underwater directions: The dive goes out into the shallow bay over flat weedy cobbles, then sand to 5m where a short slope takes you onto flat sand and mud. Then gently out to 20m + Fireworks appears at 20m+ Sea pens at 15m. A very good site for sea cucumbers. From the point of the little Island a small reef can be found with encrusting life, sea squirts and sea loch anemones but this changes to sand quickly
