Nick’s Caves
An exciting and colourful shore dive, with many swim throughs and overhangs. This dive site is an interesting one and consists of various large boulders which are stacked to create a number of small cave-like features, overhangs and tunnels.
Depths here range from about 5 meters to about 18 meters, making it a shallow to moderate dive. The rocks are covered in various corals and marine growth providing a colourful display.
While the dive is an easy one when the weather is calm, during rough conditions this site becomes somewhat more daunting while still being diveable for the more experienced divers.
The marine life in the area is good and there are numerous schools of fish here,there are also crayfish and nudibranches.
