Underwater directions: Head down to the left (south 45 deg) and you hit a boulder reef at 20m, it stops at 32m and its not a big reef so go to your chosen depth and zig-zag up it, and head back up at 45 deg to the shore past the anchor and exit in the same place. If you are night diving here you can leave a strobe on the shore. The boulders here are like the caves, covered in pink and white plumose anemone's, sea urchins, dead men's fingers, Firework anemone's and sea loch anemone's.
