| Description: |
This dive site never disappoints. Kelp covers the rocks down to between 10m and 14m. There are then lots of gullies covered with beautiful anemones, sponges and other marine life. Fish life can be scarce but dogfish are commonly found on the rocky bed. The rocks are also home to a colony of grey seals, so expect some company on your dive! |
