Fantastic Dive Site, perfect for, but not limited, to new divers.
Parking can be busy, so get there early if you want to park on the Pier, otherwise there is a car park just up the hill that’s very close by. Depths are 4-5 metres at the end of the pier. It takes around 20 minutes to reach the end of the pier at a reasonable pace. Sand and sea grasses to the sides of the piers, rocky underneath, but watch for boats mooring if you stray outside! In addition to a SMB, a Dive Knife is a good idea as there are fishers there, and some snagged lines. Toilets, Dive Shop/Air Station and a small shop are on site.
