Re: A few underwater creatures

Great shots.

I was at a diving centre a few weeks ago on the Nort West coast of Scotland.

Lochaline is the name of the place and I was fishing off the old logging pier which is cantileverd out over a 400 foot drop off !!!!!! There's some wrecks for diving but the attraction for me is the vertical drop means you can actually 'sea fish' from land.

Re: A few underwater creatures

Wow! great underwater shots, I bet it was fascinating

I should think the channel is very cold to dive in.
I really like the third, almost cute

t

Its a very nice area
Spent a week diving out off Lochaline a few years ago there is some great wrecks around there.

One of them a vertical wreck on the reef in the sound of mull going from 6m to 50 metres deep. Loads of big jellys though

I had a nice ikelite housing, not cheap but it was rated to 60m so well worth it. As I was usually going to 50m.
