This was murky by St Kilda standards and Levenish Tunnel was strictly off-limits. [Derek Borthwick's buddy was killed there.] Swam under one house-sized boulder, and saw a couple of shy seals, but for the rest of the dive it was closeups of squidgies, especially a weird crustacean called a coprellid, which seems to have exploded in numbers.
