Who could deny that Glencoe truly has it all, stunning mountains, beautiful lochs and a wonderful hostel all within easy reach. A friendly and warm hostel ideal for a good nights sleep after a day underwater.
Carnoch bay is the dive site, just 2 miles from Glencoe Independent Hostel. Suitable for divers for sport, the main attraction of this site is the presence of stickleback rays.
