Pistol Bay
About Pistol Bay
The site is reached by holding a guide rope and descending natural steps to the water. Underwater, a wall drops from about 4 m down to around 10 m, with rocky areas that create swim-throughs. One of the larger openings leads into a cave area with very clear visibility. Marine life can include schools of sand smelt and occasional cuttlefish.
