About This Dive Spot

A sheltered, very shallow cove often used for open-water training, refresher dives, and equipment checks where depth isn’t needed. The seabed is mostly flat sand, with granite boulders surrounding much of the cove. Rocky areas include small caves and short swim-throughs that provide habitat for a variety of invertebrates. Shoals of small fish may enter the cove but tend to be shy.
