Loch Sunart offers some of the best shore diving in the UK. This site is easily accessed from the road but Kayaks open up the whole loch to divers without a boat.

Shore dive location:
OSGB NM 66206 61180
Lat/Lon WGS84 N56 41.026 W5 49.138
Vis here is generally good and on our last dive in October 2010 it was in excess of 15m. Lots of life!

Vis here is generally good and on our last dive in June 2007 it was in excess of 15m. The wreck is very broken but sections like the bow are still impressive. Lots of life too.
