I was diving Conger Alley with a friend from Dublin about 2 years ago. As we were on our way in we met 2 girls that were just finishing up their dive and got talking. They mentioned that they had dived a wreck of an MTB just out from the caravan Park.

I've asked around about this but no one seems to know anything about it.:( Anyone on here able to help out??:confused:

Don't think there is an MTB wreck in Loch Long, could it be Loch Striven?

I'd thought as much. I did a bit of research and know that the Americans had a squadron of MTB'S based ther (in loch long) for a short period during the WW2. I managed to track down a former crewman that assures me they lost no boats in loch long. Ah well ......

Have dived the one in Loch Striven. Good dive if you get the vis. Would like to congratulate you guys on this site .. it's excellent.:D
