The Gut
★★★★☆
(3)
Accessible when there is little to no swell. Enter this narrow channel situated down a short hill from the road and navigate past the shallow rocks before entering the 7m deep Gut and enjouy the colourful wall on the right. Keep swimming and you will emerge onto a 5m sandy area that is scattered with rock reef.
From Juvenile crayfish, nudibranchs, the normal reef fish like Red Moke, Snapper, Triggerfish, John Dory and moray eels, this is a nice little dive.
