The visibility was quite poor at 2-3 metres and any unnecessary movement with the legs, kicked up silt that obscured the person next to you. I can honestly say that I was a little nervous, and occupied my mind with the intricacies of varied life that was abundant on the reef at this depth. The dive site was Loch Creran, a specific area of conservation (SAC) between <a href="http://www.touristnetuk.com/sc/argyll/attractions/attractions.htm">Oban and Appin</a> on the West coast of Scotland.</p> <a href="/node/769"><img src="http://tnl-6.local/files/images/Sarah-18m.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Sarah at 18 metres" title="Sarah at 18 metres" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="75" /></a> http://tnl-6.local/node/769#comments The Gleaners Water buoyancy depth diving pressure sea-loch silt visibility Waves Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:17:36 +0000 Lindsay 769 at http://tnl-6.local
