Okay. my last post about Powmill has gone??? Don't know how or why but this was the post i was trying to post.........

In answer to - There is a University Club that has permission to dive Powmill etc etc



That would be Stirling University Sub Aqua Club, I know they go there quite a bit. No bloody good if you can't drive up to the waters edge though, as there is no way I'm carrying my gear up that bloody hill. May just add to his blockade with some more earth to build a ramp that 4x4 can get over, or start carrying some large planks of wood to build a ramp. Anyone else know of a decent Quarry for diving in Fife or Lothians ? Have been to the Clay Pit in Whinchburgh but viz is arouund 2-3m at best.
