About this site
Gallanach Reef lies near Gallanach, on the coast of Argyll and Bute in western Scotland, close to Oban and the sheltered waters leading out toward the Firth of Lorn. It reaches a maximum depth of around 9 metres and is considered a beginner site. A single source has reported silt as a hazard here, so care with fin technique near the bottom is worth keeping in mind. That same source has noted lobster, nudibranch, and octopus on the reef.
