Tides: Tide tables Its also protected from SW winds
Depth: 15m
Site entry/exit: A 50m walk and your on the slip, at high tide the water is on the slip, but being a shore dive leaves you a long swim to get any depth.
Underwater directions: At both sides there are reefs with some life. From the slip to the mouth of the cove its around 400m, the beach has either a rocky entrance at HW or sand at LW, so LW a shorter swim, longer walk. Across the entrance of the cove is a large reef with quite a lot of life. If you go south you have a wall dive getting to about 15m HW, with a few gullies around the corner and if you swim far enough and the sand is low, there is the remains of a fishing boat in a small cave. If you go north, there is a large reef, again with gullies and quite a bit of life.

Other comments: If you are feeling fit, or have a DPV, another 200m out the is the Cow & Calf. I dived this a few weeks ago from my boat, after following the edge of the reef around, it took 69 minutes to get 3/4 of the way round. The side closest to the land has huge boulders and big recess's for fish to hide
