This is stunning visualization of data, a laudable execution of tons of research I presume. This demystifies the water flow using topography, geology, and hydrology, thank you.

Really detailed video. Thanks! I'm fascinated by the Corryvreckan and Grey Dogs and travelled them in a boat years ago. I found the grey dogs actually more terrifying but the whole thing is breathtaking.

I have kayaked both and I found the Grey Dogs as challenging as the Corryvreckan as the in former the water flow seems to change direction more often.

Great tidal flow explanation. I dived the Buttress pinnacle (1994) from dive boat Porpoise, the pinnacle itself was covered in Elephant's Ear Sponge, a memorable, well planned and executed dive. Also had many dives through the Grey Dogs at great various states of tide, it must be noted that myself and others I dived with were all experienced drift divers having many logged dives from the Cuan Sound to Falls of Lora to name but a few. Thanks again for posting.

I read of a diver exploring the buttress. All was calm, and then within a few seconds he noticed his bubbles were going into the dark. He sprinted to the light.

Doubt it. Your cold water tap flows faster and it doesn't wear away. Plus the pinnacle is covered in anemones.

Thank you for sharing this, Our sailing trip was meant to be a kind of roots trip for my husband ( McNeill). We weren’t brave , just unlucky. We were in the wrong place and the wrong time. A force nine gale in a small sailboat in proximity to the whirlpool is no joke!

Safehaven Marine built a service vessel they called "Thunderchild 2", which they took to Corryvreckan Maelstrom, the vid has excellent Drone footage of the vessel moving through the Whirlpools and colliding currents, in one shot the vessel is bow facing into the current with the throttles set at eight knots, the twenty two metre quad engine vessel is just sitting there not moving, and despite the current, all around the vessel is the constant churning power of the Maelstrom.

@josephinebennington72472 жыл бұрын
Water going down a plug hole is a permanent whirlpool. Ocean whirlpools are temporary/transient due to the ever changing movement of the whole body of water, and no hole to drain the ocean out of. Whirlpools in Corryvreckan can be seen forming and reforming.

The spin cycles both simulate (are suggestive of) the maelstrom 'Charybdis' and help dry your clothes out and so have significant use value and the music is quite charming I find - though it appears your knots vary.
