How Hot is this Dive Site? click a star to rate it
Diving place with almost always something special to find. In spring Sepia's are coming to the bridge to mate and lay their eggs. Diving is best arround the turn of tide. It is possible to dive at other times but the current can be very strong. Visability can vary greatly and can be different at the same day, depending on low or high tide. Due to the visability macro shots is the best option.
