Lochaline on Morven or Oban harbour |
Notes : |
An excellent dive best perfomed at slack water as 2-3knt currents flow at other times. The hull is covered in life and there used to be an intact bath lying on the deck but this was thrown overboard onto the sea bed by a rather inconsiderate club. This wreck is also usually buoyed by a 5 gallon plastic drum or something similar but beware, it might not be sometimes! Very impressive dive for both beginners and old hands.
