Clashfarland Point - Scottish West Coast

Clashfarland Point sits just off the Scottish west coast, a handy spot for a relaxed dive. We’ve found it’s a good choice for beginners, with a maximum depth of 24m that keeps things manageable. The rock walls here are usually covered in anemones and small crabs, and if you take it slow, you can often spot nudibranchs tucked into the crevices. It’s not a dramatic dive, but it's a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater, particularly when the conditions are calm. Keep an eye on the forecast; like much of the west coast, it’s best enjoyed on a settled day.
