About This Dive Spot
Sandy Cove is characterized by a shallow sandy bottom, reaching a maximum depth of approximately 4 meters. The site is surrounded by numerous granite corestones of varying sizes, providing a unique underwater landscape. It is commonly used for open water training, refresher courses, and equipment testing due to its manageable depth. While shoals of small fish may occasionally enter the cove, they tend to be quite shy. Additionally, the small caves and swim-throughs located under the rocks on the opposite side serve as habitats for a variety of invertebrates.
