Get to know the place

Follow the cliff-side steps to the small beach with your guide. Explore the inlet only within an agreed surface route; the nearby underwater caves and Cathedral Cave are separate diving objectives. The tight inlet needs a fresh assessment of swell and the return to shore.

What to see

  • High limestone gorge walls
  • Pebble inlet
  • Surface views along the narrow bay

Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
