Conger Crevice – a conveyor belt of life | STAR RATING : | 5 star | | POSITION : | 3 miles North West of MacLeods Maidens | | EXPERIENCE: | Competent, site requires care with slack tide and swell | | DIVE DEPTH : | 19-22m | | CONDITIONS : | Slack tides combined with westerly winds and swell can make this dive unmanagable. | | SEA BED : | Consists of black rock with a scattering of white shell sand and a sharply rising rock face. | | TIDES : | The tides run strongly along this site, and slack tide is almost essential. Experienced divers could dive shortly after slack on the flood. | | TAKE CARE : | Swell, tide and wind must be closely watched | | COMMENTS : | Described by many as awesome and said to rival the Red Sea diving easily this is an excellent photographic dive site with visibility in excess of 15 metres. A vertical black rock face plummets to the sea bed in an amazing technicolour of encrusting soft colour and anemones of all shapes and size. A crevice at the base of the cliff, described as a 'conveyor belt of marine life' is crammed full. | | ARTICLE : | 'Sportdiver - UK in Focus - Scotland' - Nov 07. Read the pdf» | |
