This was definetly my favourite scottish dive so far, fantastic rock formations, and sea critters. Well worth the long drive. When can we go AGAIN? Lets find the mysterious resident angler fish.

Shug

Shouldn't have been that long a drive compared to half theLoch Fynne sitres, was it?

The octofish looks cool. The blog says it was just sitting there. Did you poke it about a bit to get some ink? Twisted Evil

gus

feels like a long drive and the traffic wasnt perfect.

i just make comparisons with conger.wouldnt bother with loch fyne in the evening.

i gave the 7 legged septopus a shove but it sulcked into the corner, think it may have been upset at loosing a limb.
a good dive right enough, shame charles couldnt find his way out of a cardboard box and i'm just too lazy to bother, (dont like to fail).

cheers

It was a late night by the time I got home (after midnight). Rolling Eyes

Frustrating thing is that we passed my house at about 10:30pm but i had to go on to Stirling to take baby Joe back to the cage. Next time I'll make him hitch hike! Twisted Evil

I still fully intend to do it again. If gus isn't man enough then I'll find someone else to accompany me. Embarassed

joe

chuck you no i'd go again Very Happy

but i ain't walking.

Intresting eough, i wonder how diving via public transport would be?

gus

oft.
i'm no man, but a boy.

and i'm not boy enough to go to western loch fyne on a night dive. i never suggested that i would discount such an east coast drive again.

cheers

Here's a quote from chris, a regular StAbbs diver who posts on congeralley:

"Never knew the issue about diving banned at night, they usually put a barrier across the harbour wall and state that there is no cover, but not banned??"

Was that wee specky baldy guy picking on us? PDT_Piratz_01

Check out this very useful map below that chris supplied:

The gully with the angler fish that was mentioned must be between Scott's Rock & Broad Craig I reckon: not running through the middle of Broad Craig as suggested! Shocked

joe

i thought he suggested that we turn left at the break water.

Nice st abbs at night got to be great seeming as its great at day!!! one of my favourite sites!!!
glad u found cathedral rock, found it once and still rember it like yesterday!!!

I cant believe u guys didn't grab the octopus and paly around with it!!!! wait till i come back and start showing you the french way to things!!!

Once dived in france and grab an octopus he was like all over my face and all, so cool!!!!

gus

well edd let me refer you to this previous thread.

http://susac.myfreeforum.org/about329.html

didnt want to upset anyone. diving is for looking not for breaking.

thats a theory i've heard somewhere before.

cheers

Edd

damn gus u caught me out!!!

yeah u right, u know us frogs sometimes all over the place!!!

miss diving with u though, had some good laughs in the past!!!

gus

indeed it was fun,
if your not bothering to come back up for a visit then your wee french island isnt safe from a visit sometime in the future.

i feel trying to get sealife to play should be acceptable, gentle persuasion permitted.

met a crawfish during the training trip and it happily played me a tune and played some chase games.

cheers

joe

cool when can we try it Very Happy

charlie

I found the aforementioned gully on Sunday but not the anglerfish... hopefully will go back soon to explore again.

this dive site was on the programme COAST a few weeks ago...and they found the anglerfish...looks like an awesome site

Neil from COAST lives in Stirling now...he is super cool
