Circus
Tintamarre's exposed cave-and-tunnel boat dive
Boat-only north-face dive on Tintamarre; plan for a calm-day run, reserve rules, and a rocky profile with caves and swim-throughs.
About Circus
Off Tintamarre's north face, Circus is a boat-access dive shaped by rocky recesses, caves, swim-throughs, and a wall section. Plan on an operator-led trip and reserve rules, because the site is exposed to swell and needs a calm sea state to be worth the run; when conditions line up, the cuts and ledges hold coral, gorgonians, sharks, rays, turtles, and reef fish.
