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) - L B P offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest wreck diving.
The LBP, a fishing vessel that went down back in '86, sits in just a couple of metres of water, making it more of a snorkel or very shallow dive. We’ve found her hull still pretty intact, a decent playground for crabs and small fish darting in and out of the nooks. It's not a deep exploration, obviously, but for a calm day, it’s a nice way to spend an hour poking around a genuine piece of history, especially if you’re keen on seeing how marine life reclaims a lost boat. It’s perfect for new divers getting comfortable with wrecks or anyone looking for a relaxed, easy access site on the Scottish West Coast.
