About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique experience navigating between two dramatic cliff faces through a gully. Divers should be aware of numerous cave entrances along the route, as these can present significant hazards due to swell conditions. The swim itself is rewarding, providing opportunities to observe various marine life including pollack, wrasse, lobster, and congerfish. Exploration beneath ledges reveals fascinating creatures like sea scorpion and the inquisitive tompot blenny. The seabed features edible sea urchins and abundant fields of anemones; triggerfish are also common during summer months. At the gully's end resides a large anglerfish. This dive site presents an intermediate level of challenge, requiring awareness of potential hazards and navigation skills.
