Underwater directions: Its a small horseshoe-shaped bay so navigation is easy. Head out along the south wall then over the mouth of the bay and back, going in and out of the small gully's. If you look in the middle of the bay use an SMB as the bay is popular with dive boats, water-skiers and lobster boats. For novices keep to the rocks along the northern side of the bay as it never has any current.
