Site entry/exit: Enter and stay on the right hand side of the bay.
Underwater directions: Follow the rocks out and around the point, there are gullies, swim throughs and walls rich with anemones, soft corals and sponges, along with large wrasse, crabs and the odd lobster. There is also a 'blow hole' that can be entered under water. A torch is needed for this, and it shouldn't be attempted if there is a large swell. Around the back of the island in about 8 metres there is a large cave entrance that can't be seen above water. Enter the cave and swim in for about 8 metres, and surface inside the blow hole!
