Council Yard - Scottish West Coast

Council Yard is a straightforward shore dive, often used for training and shake-down dives on the Scottish West Coast. The site offers easy entry and exit, typically revealing plenty of local critters like crabs, blennies, and the occasional dogfish tucked amongst the boulders. It's a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive without strong currents. We often use it as a practice run before heading to more challenging spots.
