Any recommended shore dive sites on the Kintyre peninsula please?

Stonefield Reef (http://www.congeralley.com/sites/stonefield.htm) looks good.

GerryO mentioned Ard na Cross Bay in the viz report thread. Is it easy to find/navigate? What is there to see?

... any others please?

No would be a simple answer to that.

Actually yes you can shore dive the Breda.

Gareth this is a different Breda to the one in Oban - located just out of Campeltown.

Very prominent bow but the rest fairly broken up, worth a dive though. Mebbie a 5 min swim on surface to the wreck - not buoyed though so need to work on transits.

Great info! Many thanks. :D

I'd like to find out more about these sites if at all possible please.

If I dive any of them I'll try to format some dive site descriptions. :cool:

I stand corrected :D

Where is this one, just outside Campeltown? What depth is it in?

Well I've got some divesite description for all these sites sitting on my PC including three sets of transits for Breda - info from various sources. Only diving in that area I've done is off Tarbert.

Nice work, alex. :)

Do you find that sitting on your PC gives better search results? I'm quite traditional, I just tend to sit in front of mine. :o (Sorry: I'm in cheeky mode tonight :eek:)
