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) - The Caves offers some of Scottish West Coast's richest cave diving.
The Caves on Scotland's West Coast offers a darker, more sheltered dive. Expect to navigate several interconnected chambers, some with air pockets where you can surface. It’s a site best suited for confident divers comfortable in overhead environments and cooler water. Look for the resident wrasse and the occasional lobster tucked into crevices.
