Suitable for Training: On a good day!

Site: Gully with steep walls and wide corridors

Notes: Enter over rocks at the entrance of the gully. After swimming over boulders, there is a short kelp field. Beyond this the gully overhangs steeply, making lots of dark crevices for lobsters and occasionally octopus. Staying on the left will eventually bring you to the mouth of the gully, where you can follow the rocks left or right out into the channel. The current often picks up at this stage, but - no longer under overhangs, it is brighter and clearer out of the narrow gully. 10-12 metres at the gully entrance, it can be quite tricky to find your way back in.

There is an alternative dive here - Nestends Gully:

Entry here is off a long flat concerete slip which was built to surround a disused sewage pipe. Once in the water, the rocks quickly drop off to around 8-10 metres. You can enter the gullies by turning left.

Steep walls rise on either side, usually covered by a carpet of anenomes and dead man's fingers. The bottom is made of rounded rocks and pebbles, often covered too. Life here can include octopus and lobster, although the site is very popular.

The track leading up to the site has been well maintained and there is parking available. This makes the site extremely popular.

Site Specific Risks

Slippy concerete walkway as entry point, site is also extremely tidal. It is also notoriously difficult to locate the exit point (usually same as entry), this can lead to hazardous exits over rocks elsewhere.
