Diving Notes:
Transits are approximate, pick them up then do circular search with anchor just off sea bed.
Site can be dived at any state of the tide. Plaice, skate and scallops in the area.
Generally, the marine life on the "BAGGY" is breathtaking, shoals the size of which we rarely see in the UK. There are conger eels, on almost every ledge or in crevices, waiting for an unsuspecting fish. The scallop beds are massive.
