This dive site, Scraggane Bay, offers a beautiful and accessible diving experience. It's particularly well-suited for beginner divers due to its relatively shallow maximum depth of 7 meters. The dives typically begin at the south slip and proceed along the sandy bottom towards the north slip. Divers can expect to encounter fascinating marine life such as Tompot blennies, various species of wrasse, cuttlefish, and even juvenile flatfish.
