This site is definitely the best reef that the area has to offer, you can compare it directly with the manacle in Cornwall, and I reckon we win. Again depth is deceptive, but the life is the best I've seen on the South Coast.
Max Depth: Anything from 9m-70m depending on where you drop and what you want.
Viz: Generally 10-12m, at best 20m+ although bad weather will make it worse.
Orientation: A pinnacle leading to the main seabed often with strong currents, if in a current use the large granite boulders as shelter.
Buoy Lines
None, please use a shot for descent and a Delayed SMB for the ascent. Known for strong currents delayed SMBs per diver are essential.
Areas of interest
The whole site is amazing.
No Take Zone
Not in a conservation area, but we still operate a No Take policy.
Life you could see
Below 18m, Sea Fans, Rose Coral and Yellow Sponges. Across the whole site you can see carpets of Jewel Anemones, sometimes find lobsters, crayfish, along side dogfish and wrasse. There are plenty of sea urchins and starfish of all types and sea cucumbers everywhere. This is one of the few sites where Smooth Hound Sharks are known to live.
