Dived under here last night with T2T.
Easy entry and exit. Walk across muddy parking spot, or park in your 4x4 in the parking area. This parking area is about 100m from the road entrance from the A83 close to Conger Alley/ Twin Piers. Go over an easy angled rock slab onto shingle and seaweed beach. Walk to opposite the front of the shed and surface swim to the legs. Drop down in 6m.
Under the legs it is gloomy and spooky. Lots of bits of pipe/ metal plate/ wire/ bits of wood. Most of the seabed seems to be in 2 to 3m only. The seabed everywhere under the supports is covered in a thick coat of dead mussel shells and starfish. Silt billows up easily if you are grubbing about. Past the supports, it is a muddy slope again with lots of bits of metal/wire etc.
There is also a jetty that points toward Arrochar but we decided not to swim around there. Maybe next time - if there is a next time.
Depth 6m max, for 30 mins
Viz 2m
Tide Just about LW.
