Sandy Cove
★★★★☆
(50)
The site is popular for open water training exercises, refresher courses and testing equipment when you don’t need depth. The bottom is generally shallow, with a maximum depth of about 4 m on the sand. The cove is almost surrounded by large number of granite corestones of various sizes, and a flat sand bottom.
Shoals of small fish occasionally enter the cove, but are usually very shy. The small caves and swim throughs under the rocks opposite create homes for many different invertebrates.
