Sgeir Griadach Reef

Scalpay Diving Services

Photo by Scalpay Diving Services (click on the photo to go to their pages).

This reef is marked by a cardinal buoy. There are two wrecks at this site, one a yacht and the other a paddle steamer. As you can see from the above photograph diving in this area can be a thoroughly enjoyable experience benefiting from the colour of the abundant sea life and good visibility (15m). The reef is large and shows itself at low tide (the reef drops to 40m on the Little Minch side). For information on diving please visit Scalpay Diving Services by clicking on the above image..

The reef is popular with the local fishermen as you will find all manner of catches in this area. Pollock and Cod for the angler. Most of the fishermen fish for shellfish and the reef is abumdant in Lobster, Crayfish,edible and velvet crab. For the divers the sandy bottom provides scallops and all around you will see Squat Lobster, which is not harvested but is edible and has a flavour not dissimilar to prawn. I do not understand why there is not a market for this creature, maybe it is due to the uglyness of the beast. Although small it looks rather alien and uninviting.
