Off to oban-via capern wray-over the weekend for some wrecks, but we were gonna flesh out the diving with some shore stuff just because we can on the night/after returning from the dives.

Can anyone recommend good shore diving locations out of either oban its self, the local surrounding area or the puffin dive centre launch even.

cheers,
john

Get in touch with the local BSAC club up there - can't remember the name. I hooked up with them last year and did a couple of great dives in a marine nature reserve on Loch Creran - just pat the Seal centre.
The entry point is the 3r lay by long after you go under the A282 on the south bank -
