Other comments: Best done after a long spell of low winds as is exposed to the prevailing wind. In June you get plankton blooms like most dives around here. There are lots of gully's and cracks to explore and as it's not deep so you get good bottom times. It's also advisable to use an SMB in the bay as boats do use the bay. There are toilets 25m from the beach
Ribs can be launched from the shore here and there is a wreck called Missouri about 500m from the shore also a treasure galleon close to the bay. Treasure Gold coins
