Tides: Tide tables This site is best done on a high tide as the access is easier and the dive is beter.
Site entry/exit: Walk down disused sewage pipe which is concreted over into a path then either left into the gully or straight on to the point.
Underwater directions: Two entry points, the first is small gully to the left (north west facing) this is over some boulders and kelp and then it drops quickly to 11 meters into a steep sided gully with undercuts, cracks and ledges, housing lobsters,crabs, squatties, gobies and the occasional octopus. further out you come to a gully on your right this takes you through another narrow gully that opens out onto a sandy bottom, loads of other gully's and large boulders covered in kelp and soft corals to explore here, it is also possible to swim round into the next bay, and exit via the old sewage pipe. Care should be taken as currents can run quite strong here. Going straight on at the gully passed a large boulder, the gully widens out and then comes to a 't' junction, turning left it shallows out and eventually you end up at the breakwater for the new harbour, (this used to be the exit point), turning right this takes you around via a network of gullies to the next bay, again take care for currents and don't go to far north as this takes you into the harbour fairway.
The Second entry is off the Old Sewage Pipe (now a concrete path), onto a dense kelp bed with breaks onto sandy patches, heading West takes you around the network of Gullies described above and back into Green ends gully or further and exit on the stony beach. Heading East takes you into some shallower bays and gullies and exit in the entry point.
