Glen Douglas Road End, Loch Long 6/9/06

Evening dive with Ding at GDRE. Fairly easy entry and exit once you struggle over the crash barrier. Swam straight down a steep, silty shingle slope, with a few small boulders and a 3m face at 13m. Lots of lovely big firework anemones a foot across, plus usual sealoch life of other anemones, squatties, flatties, crabs, poor cod and gobies. Short spined sea scorpion at base of wall. The topography of slope is similar to 49m and slope just kept on going. Turned round and swam back up. Did a few short Pyle stops as recommended by Ding's VR3 and the mandatory 3min at 3 to 6m stop for my Vyper. 1:10 000 chart of Upper Loch Long shows maximum depth at LAT of 57m here.

Viz less than 1m until 5m as there is some oil pollution in the Loch just now, below this was 3/4m. Temp 13 degrees.
