Heather Island - Scottish West Coast

Heather Island offers some solid diving, particularly around its kelp forests. You'll find plenty of crabs and lobsters tucked into the rocky crevices, and we’ve often seen various wrasse species darting through the fronds. It's a good choice for newer cold-water divers looking for straightforward exploration and plenty of smaller critters.
