Bass Point shore cave with blue devils and macro life.
Bass Point shore cave with blue devils and macro life.
Blue Devil Cave is a Bass Point shore dive with a short swim from The Gutter to a small cave that rewards slow, careful movement. It suits divers who like compact routes, rich temperate marine life, and a site that asks for good buoyancy and clear return-path awareness instead of fast cruising. The surrounding reef and swim-out route often hold plenty of small life, so the dive stays interesting from the first few meters to the cave and back again.
