Beautiful cove with both snorkeling and diving possibilities. Diving along the shore at 4-6 metres depth allows you to see lots of parrot, seargent majors, angelfish, anemonefish and scorpionfish. About 100 metres from shoreline, past the big boulder in the middle of the bay lies a katamaran wreck with good diversity of underwater wildlife. Several moray eels spotted, pufferfish, batfish, blacktips and nudie's. The blacktips come close to shoreline in the evenings between 5 and 7pm to hunt and feed. But not to fear as it's only juvies between 50-100cm. Snokeling along the north shoreline, passing the next small bay gives you a great oppertunity spotting adult blacktips hunting in the shallows just above a coral graveyard. It's only about 2 metres in depth here but you get a good chance spotting both turtles and giant triggerfishes.
