Explore all sitesThree reefs running north-south off a small Greatman's Bay quay, worked from the shore on the tide — the deep end of the Coral Strand shoreline.
The Coral Strand: a seven-metre shore dive over maërl gravel and eelgrass, the standard training and photography dive of the Carraroe peninsula.
A quiet beach entry on the Casla Bay side of Carraroe, dived at high water over rock, sand and a seagrass meadow.
A tidal channel drift over stony bottom at 15-20 m, with a north wall to hide behind when the stream is running.
Tie the boat in five metres, swim a hundred metres south, and the bottom falls away almost vertically to 38 m — and deeper the further west you go.
