In spite of the nearby crowds, it remains seldom visited and has retained an atmosphere of virgin beauty. Start your dive on the outside wall and head northwards. At 30 m are huge overhangs, caves and dark gullies, swathed in seafans, s. This scene becomes increasingly colourful and dramatic towards the corner. At the corner it is worth doubling back to take in the shallow part of this wall. Between 25 m and the surface is a large chimney which should not be missed. It is home to a blue Shrimps.
