Stallion Rock is a wall and reef site located in the Sound of Mull, offering a challenging dive for advanced divers. The topography drops from 20 to 40 metres, with an average depth of 30 metres. Divers must manage moderate currents and visibility ranging from 3 to 10 metres. Water temperatures fluctuate between 8C and 16C, making a drysuit essential. Entry is possible from both shore and boat, though shore entries require careful planning due to potential surf and shore break conditions. Divers should monitor depth gauges closely and remain alert for boat traffic when surfacing.
