Dive-site story
Located on the western shore of Loch Long in Argyll and Bute, this classic Scottish sea loch dive offers straightforward shore access directly from roadside parking. The underwater terrain transitions from a shallow pebble beach into a steep boulder-strewn slope that leads down to fine silt plains. Low ambient light at depth makes a primary torch essential, revealing diverse benthic organisms sheltering among the rocks.
Steep rocky reef and boulder slope supporting northern marine fauna
Excellent night diving opportunities with nocturnal invertebrates active on the silt
Accessible shore entry points along the sheltered loch coastline
