Why dive here
With 112+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - Drishaig offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest diving.
Drishaig is a shore dive on the Scottish West Coast, a decent spot for knocking out some navigation practice or a relaxed bimble. You'll find a rocky slope descending gently, usually dotted with crabs and small fish, sometimes a curious seal pup will pop by. It’s an easy entry, making it good for newer drysuit divers or anyone wanting a straightforward dive without a boat. Visibility can vary, but it’s generally sheltered from strong currents.
