Just for Nous

Just for Nous. That name always gets a chuckle out of us. It’s tucked away in the middle of a pass, and honestly, getting in can sometimes feel a bit like a washing machine, depending on the current. But push through that, and you're in for a treat. This site is all about the cave. We love the way the light filters in, just enough to illuminate the purple gorgonians you have to slalom through to get deeper inside. Dropping to about 24 metres, it's not a deep dive, but the sensation of being surrounded by rock, with those whip lobsters clinging to the walls, makes it feel like a real exploration. The resident moray eel, who we’ve unofficially named Madame Moray, often pokes her head out to greet you. Keep an eye out for the Electric Flame Scallops – their flashing mantle is genuinely mesmerising in the gloom. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace, letting your eyes adjust, taking in the smaller things like the Sponsal Cones and the Acropora Coral Crabs camouflaged perfectly. We’d suggest bringing a good torch, not just for photos of the anthias schooling in the gorgonians, but to really pick out the nuances of the cave walls. It’s a site for divers who appreciate the subtle beauty of a well-formed cave and don't mind a bit of a current-y entry for the payoff.
