Tides: Tide tables
Depth: 10-30m
Site entry/exit: The beach can be reached via a concrete track 150m down from the car park. Entry and exit to the water is from a gently sloping stony beach.
Underwater directions: Best to stick to the edges of the bay which both have walls as the middle is flat and sandy. The west of the bay is deeper to 30m at the exit of the bay and 15m on the east. There tends to be more fish life in the east and you get more bottom time.

Other comments: There is a no-take policy and are fines for divers found removing certain species here. The viz here can get very bad after storms so it best to check that it's been calm for a week or so and avoid diving here in northerly winds as it blows straight into the bay. On a rising tide its a very good night dive, particularly when the tourists have all left. There are toilets and a small visitor hut on the short walk from the car park down to the shore. It's best to stay away from the boat jetty as it gets used all day so an SMB is recommended.
