Nursery Cove & The Labyrinth
★★★★☆
(118)
Easy shallow dive in a sheltered bay. Lots of rocks around the edges of this bay. The deepest area is the sand line at 18m at the entrance. Go around the southern point to “The Labyrinth“ and find the swim throughs there.
Lots of fish around, lots of micro life growing on the rocks. Nudibranches can be spotted here. This is a good spot for a chance at seeing our resident green turtle.
