Night dives here are genuinely worthwhile as the reef structure comes alive after dark, and with a dive shop and air fills on site, a two-tank day followed by a night dive is straightforward to arrange. Time your dive on the wall section to run with the current rather than against it, as it can pick up considerably.
Accessible from the beach by a sheltered, convenient entry point through a marked sandy channel.
