When Jester and I decided to go for a splash in Loch Long we decided to go to Twin Piers. I'd not dived it in a few months, but it's a site I quite like. In addition, I'm aware the visibility can be poor. After week of almost no rain, it was always going to be decent and I reckon 4-5m was as good as it was going to get. So we decided to go to the bottom of the sloping reef to see just how far it goes.
I was afflicted by the same camera problems that I experienced on my last dive and also a leaking drysuit. So at best it was frustrating.
We went in rounded the piers, down by the remains of the old truck, deeper by the remains of the barge and onto the reef at around 20m. We continued down by the cable and bottomed out at about 25m From there it was just silty seabed.
I've probably been here before, but never during the day so it was pleasant to be able to turn off the torch and swim briefly in the sunlit gloom.
In amongst all the usual life we saw:
- a few conger eels
- a few plaice
- loads of dragonets
50 minutes of nice diving! Well played Jester, well played!
Below are some of the dudes we met on the journey.
