Description:
This is another easy shallow dive with depths only descending down to just over 10 meters. There are various interesting rock structures and tunnels here. It's an interesting scuba dive.
Tunnels and Caves
You can start the dive by lowering yourself into a blowhole and submerging into a cave where at 5 metres you exit. Many swim-through sections and a great tunnel about 40 metres long. Light zone throughout means we can all have a peek. 10 metres
Cyclops Cave
There are no monsters on this dive just beautiful marine life. Cyclops Cave is above sea level so can be explored by all. The view from above the cave is breathtaking and is the heart of a nature reserve. Once under the water you can explore the shelf at 6mtrs looking for fossils before dropping over edge to a wall where Moray and Octopus can be found. Depth 15-25mtrs
Chapel
Walking inside a cave and then stepping off a ledge makes this a fun site. The exit can sometimes be a little hairy but a great multi-level site with many different species to see. 25 metres
Canyon
This is what diving is all about. Arriving at an amazingly desolate looking location we climb down the cliff face to a small vent into the cliffs. Descending here we can follow the cliff face left or right or even go straight out to a rarely dived reef. Great fun. 25 metres
Green Bay
A fun site to dive. The whole area is littered with the remains of ancient Amphora (old pots) from just as ancient shipwrecks. The wooden ships are long gone but the Amphora remain. 12 metres
