Hi Flyflicker, not being rude but haven't visited in a while.

I usually dive the south east coast and there is plenty of ground there for the kind of diving you are looking for. La Rocque is my favourite but green island, la hocq and la mare are also all good.

Depending on the amount of time you have getting in a good few hours before low tide will allow you time to get out to the back reefs and dive them at low water before riding the currents back in. if you are shorter on time then la mare may be a good option as you can be a bit more flexible getting in and out with the tides and its only 5 mins back to st helier.

feel free to PM me if you want any more detail.
 
Thanks Wanny - Loops is also sorting me out a few spots, so I will be OK for my visit :)
 
quick dive in bouley bay - loads of pollack but no bass, thank goodness for Lou's fresh fish!
 
Dived Bouley Bay again yesterday (no gun, just my camera) and came across this jelly fish. It was about 2 foot long and had unusual fish sheltering in it's tentacles..

Also saw a bass and a micro cuttle fish of 2 inches long! Then a pint of the golden stuff and fresh scallops from the Black Dog :)

Hi Mark. Good to hear from you, not been visiting here much recently as too !$£%ing windy to think about diving. Still looks a bit blowy for the weekend but hopefully can get in.

Only been in once so far this year - a few weeks back, 2m viz and no fish so not the greatest of dives. The water looked like it was clearing up last week though.
